Overview
The term Ecological Steward refers to ethical and developmental actors—human, community, or systemic—who actively engage in the healing, regeneration, and long-term care of planetary ecological systems. Ecological Stewards recognize that planetary well-being is inseparable from the health and integrity of Earth’s ecosystems.
Their work supports the goals of Planetary Stewardship and the broader Avatar Symbiotic Planetary Knowledge System.

- Grounds planetary healing in material ecological realities.
- Counters extractive, colonial, and commodified approaches to nature.
