The Ripple Effects of the GEN Map
The GEN Ecovillage Map first came online in 2002. In 12 years, 1,250+ ecovillages have self-identified using the map. With this new map, we expect to attract more communities to list themselves, resulting in more visibility for ecovillages and higher chances of aspiring ecovillagers to find their community match.
Additionally, we want to offer more features for each community profile in order to better spotlight the unique offerings of each ecovillage.
This update benefits ecovillage seekers, builders, and the entire global network.
The more we can show the world that the ecovillage movement is strong, the higher impact we can have on the global transition to a more sustainable, regenerative, meaningful way of life.
Your donation makes a difference. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of the ecovillage mission.
In community,
Nicole Reese on behalf of the Global Ecovillage Network
