Partner Spotlight: Conscious Evolution
Conscious Evolution, an online publication and podcast dedicated to fostering an evolutionary transition in individuals and organizations, has announced a meaningful partnership with Native, a social enterprise committed to protecting rainforests and empowering communities. This collaboration brings together two organizations united by a vision for a healthier planet and a thriving human future.
Under this partnership, every time Conscious Evolution gains a new Patreon supporter, a square of rainforest in the Solomon Islands will be protected via Native’s innovative platform. This initiative reflects Conscious Evolution's core mission: to help humanity not only adapt to challenges but to embrace forward-thinking, purposeful change.
One of the most pressing challenges we face today is climate change. As Carter Phipps eloquently explains in Episode 6 of the Conscious Evolution podcast, solving this crisis demands that humanity evolve consciously—an entirely new kind of evolution. Unlike other species, whose evolution is reactive and shaped by past events, humans have the unique ability to anticipate problems and shape their future. Using Phipps’ car analogy, humanity must develop the foresight to steer around obstacles before colliding with them. This forward-looking approach is critical for addressing the global environmental crisis, because if we wait for events to force us to evolve then various climate tipping points mean that it's likely that we will already have triggered runaway climate change which would represent an existential threat for humanity.
Climate change is more than an environmental issue—it is an evolutionary challenge—it demands that humanity evolves. We are living through the sixth mass extinction, and if we are not careful, the evolutionary process itself could be set back millions of years. Without a thriving biosphere, the very foundation of human society is unstable. This is why Conscious Evolution is proud to support Native’s work to protect the biological substrate on which all life depends.
This partnership recognizes that a healthy, vibrant biosphere is essential for a flourishing noosphere—the realm of cultural and intellectual evolution. As Conscious Evolution seeks to ignite a meaningful transformation in how we live, think, and act, Native’s mission to protect rainforests ensures that the natural world, the cradle of all life, continues to thrive. Together, these organizations are helping to create a future where humanity lives in harmony with the planet, guided by purpose, foresight, and conscious evolution.
To join this mission and contribute to the protection of the Solomon Islands rainforest, consider supporting Conscious Evolution on Patreon. Every supporter helps secure not only a square of rainforest but a step toward a more sustainable and evolved future.
