Cùra Earth Guardians
Shaping Tomorrow for Every Realm
Safeguarding Our Heritage and Nature
The environment is one of the most contentious issues in the world today. Every person on earth is affected by it and the changes that are taking place mean that everyone on earth is potentially threatened by it and yet, whilst awareness of the subject and the questions raised has grown in recent years and there are highly engaged activists on both sides of the debate, the majority of people feel that they are left out of shaping the future unless they join one of the extremes. This is the biggest issue in the long term for the planet and everyone needs to be involved.

Cùra Guardian is about caring for the earth, the natural world and its people. Cùra Earth Guardians are not members of a movement or an organisation, they are people who share the principles of not ignoring what they hear about the world and the challenges this brings, not denying what they have heard and seen and committing to doing, in their way, what they can to assist.
Cùra Earth Guardians are identified by a choice to care and a promise to help. They also believe in the importance and value of a promise to share their knowledge and stories of the world, science and lore,
Are you a Cùra Earth Guardian? That’s not a question of an official list – it’s a question for you.
