In this clip, Beto Borges of Forest Trends Association jokes that anyone following my work “must be good people” simply because you care about healing plants and the natural world…and honestly, he’s right.
➡️ Loving plants means you’re already tuned into something deeper: the relationships, cultures, and ecosystems that make our work in natural products even possible.
Beto has spent over 40 years walking alongside Indigenous communities and forest guardians, and in the full Episode of the Explorer’s Way- Beto Borges: Indigenous People, Guardians of Biodiversity, he connects that love of plants to the people and territories that protect them.
If you see yourself as a plant person, herbal nerd, formulator, or just someone who cares where your botanicals come from, I think you’ll really appreciate hearing his perspective… check it out now on You Tube, and be sure to subscribe to be notified of the many other plant vids premiering there!
