Our mission is to permanently remove waste from the environment, ensuring it never re-enters.

In Honduras, our partner Terrapolyester transforms plastic collected by our Interceptor 021 in El Quetzalito. This recovered material is repurposed into durable household items such as brooms, brushes, and pillows.

Plants are fundamental to our food systems but face constant threats from pests and diseases spreading across borders.

This video highlights plant biosecurity as the frontline defense for food security, protecting crops, livelihoods, and global trade. Learn more about plant health here.

Las plantas son la base de nuestros sistemas alimentarios, pero están constantemente amenazadas por plagas y enfermedades que se propagan a través de las fronteras. Este video destaca el papel crucial de la bioseguridad vegetal.

On April 21, 2026, WECAN hosted "Indigenous Women Resisting Extraction and Building a Just Transition" during the 25th UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (#UNPFII). Speakers shared updates on campaigns defending Indigenous territories from extraction, discussed the impacts of colonization, fossil fuels, mining, and climate disruption. They also showcased community projects for Just Transition and climate resilience, offering strategies grounded in rights, traditional knowledge, and sovereignty.

Our gratitude goes to the extraordinary Indigenous women leaders and advocates from Cameroon, Ecuador, Peru, and Turtle Island/USA. Their powerful voices highlighted critical issues and solutions.

Since 2018, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), has promoted community-based sustainable land, forest, and rangeland management in Afghanistan. Active across five provinces, this project supports biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and improved rural livelihoods.

Through 64 Forest and Rangeland Management Associations, thousands have participated in technical trainings and natural resource management activities. This has restored thousands of hectares, sequestering over 4.5 million tonnes of CO₂. Community-led interventions, including agroforestry and fuel-efficient cookstoves, build resilient landscapes and food-secure communities.
