In 2024 alone, 70% of the Araribóia Indigenous Land – home to the Guajajara Indigenous People and the Awá People, who live in voluntary isolation – was affected by fires. “I never thought the river would need help,” said Kariamora Santana Guajajara, a midwife and Guajajara matriarch. “But the time has come to help – to reforest, to respect, to care. If we do not care for it, everything will disappear.”

Today, we published our 2025 Impact Report celebrating two decades of impact – proof that funding climate solutions at the source is one of the most affordable, effective, and truly impactful pathways to reverse the grand challenges humanity faces.

In Madagascar, Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming is helping to address the interconnected challenges of daily survival and food insecurity, and the environmental outcomes of both. HIH’s Research Associate Dr. Sabrina Simon shares insights from fieldwork around the Manombo Rainforest, where local knowledge, cultural practices, and community-led innovation are driving success.

We just launched a new three-year strategic plan at Health In Harmony. It’s a roadmap for action at a moment when the planet cannot afford to wait. It’s our commitment to the communities we stand alongside and to you: our partners, advisers, and donors.

Sabrina Simon, PhD, Health In Harmony’s Research & Evaluation Associate, tells us a story of love and planetary health during a visit to the Darién rainforest, Panama, during Dr. Simon’s field work with HIH.

In Madagascar, rainforest communities face severe food insecurity. Health In Harmony and local HIH Collective partner FAMI have been collaborating with local communities and the Madagascar Biodiversity Center to develop an innovative solution: Black Soldier Fly farming. This innovative approach to nutrition and agriculture is tackling food insecurity head-on, as well as fallout effects such as deforestation and the hunting of endangered wildlife.

We are tremendously excited to step into 2026 beside you, as well as the rainforest communities we work alongside in Brazil, Panama, Madagascar, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As we edge closer to crucial climate tipping points, we stand resolute in our goal of protecting 20 million hectares of climate-critical rainforest by 2030.
