Meli orchestrates a living laboratory co-created by Indigenous leaders, scientists, and game changers from around the world, to amplify indigenous wisdom, fostering dialogue between ancestral knowledge and modern perspectives to inspire sustainable solutions and cultural resilience.
Born from forest soil and ancestral knowledge, the Meli Think Tank rewires how the world learns and regenerates. It flips the script—putting Indigenous intelligence at the heart of cross-sector climate solutions. Launched globally in 2024, it bridges grassroots realities and global systems to co-create futures rooted in reciprocity and care.
