Return to Bioregional Governance & Earth laws

AELA’s Bioregional Learning Network

AELA's Bioregional Governance program aims to show how 'bioregioning' and bioregional governance offers important pathways to create Earth-centred societies.

The practice of bioregional governance is ancient. First Nations' Peoples around the world often developed complex bio-cultural societies that lived in harmony with non-human nature, and used the living world as a guide to inform how human societies could be safe, secure and successful.

'Bioregioning' is a Western term that urges us to see human societies and culture as part of nature, and proposes that modern human societies can be more sustainable, successful and meaningful, if our governance, political, cultural and economic systems are organised within natural boundaries such as bioregions and catchments (watersheds).

AELA's Bioregional Learning Network is a space for connecting with others who are interested in, or actively engaged in, 'bioregional governance' practice. AELA hosts webinars and events to invite people to come together to share, learn and explore what a bioregional life can look like.
