Planet Healers总部位于墨西哥尤卡坦半岛，由加拿大生态学家Paul Morris（MSc, CERP）与墨西哥农学工程师Sophia Ortiz于2015年共同创立。组织名称Planet Healers意为”地球的治疗师”，致力于通过推广生态修复知识与实践，帮助世界各地的受损土地恢复生机。组织的核心理念是：生态修复是一项普通人都能学习和实践的事业，不需要专业背景，只需要愿意关注和付出。
行星治愈者之路
Planet Healers开发了一套五阶段学习路径——行星治愈者之路（The Planet Healer Path），将生态修复实践分为从初步觉醒到深度修炼的五个递进阶段。阶段一”觉醒”：开始感受对自然世界的关注，意识到生态破坏的严重性并产生行动意愿。阶段二”生态素养”：学习阅读土地，理解退化景观的历史和需求，认识物种及其生态关系。阶段三”修复实践”：在真实土地上动手操作，包括种植、土壤测试、监测系统的建立，将知识转化为身心实践。阶段四”教学”：将他人在土地上所学传授出去，设计工作坊、指导新人、构建社区。阶段五”建设”：创造超越个人生命期限的事业，如建立保护区、机构或实践者社区。
Tsunul保护区与实地项目
Tsunul保护区位于尤卡坦半岛，占地39公顷。2015年这里还是一片退化的牧场，土壤板结、外来入侵草种蔓延、缺乏原生冠层和土壤生物。如今，保护区已恢复为一片正在愈合的热带干旱森林，记录到虎猫、美洲浣熊、鬃狼以及近危物种眼斑火鸡的稳定种群。地下水中发现了5种世界唯此独有的稀有物种。食物森林的土壤有机质显著增加，林鸳鸯在地下水上方的洞穴中筑巢，已有超过80种鸟类被记录在案。
在线课程与资源
Planet Healers提供丰富的线上学习资源，包括免费入门指南、生态恢复基础课程、景观阅读指南、物种识别入门指南等。Paul Morris还通过Ecosystem Restoration Communities和Soil Food Web School提供生态系统恢复在线课程。实地项目方面，提供五天沉浸式基础密集课程、3至7晚的技能停留项目，以及1至6个月的实习和学徒项目。所有课程采用滑动收费制，经济困难者可申请减免。

Planet Healers is an eco-education organization based in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, co-founded in 2015 by Canadian ecologist Paul Morris (MSc, CERP) and Mexican agronomist Sophia Ortiz. The organization exists to share the knowledge, practice, and presence that make ecological restoration something ordinary people can do, wherever they are.
The Planet Healer Path
Planet Healers has developed a five-stage learning journey — The Planet Healer Path — that guides practitioners from first awakening to deep restoration practice. Stage One, Awakening: the feeling arrives and does not leave — recognizing what is being lost and feeling the pull toward action. Stage Two, Ecological Literacy: learning to read the land, understanding soil tests, succession stages, and species relationships. Stage Three, Restoration Practice: doing real work on the ground — planting, testing, monitoring, and embodying the knowledge through direct experience. Stage Four, Teaching: transmitting what the land has taught you by designing workshops, mentoring others, and building community. Stage Five, Building: creating something that outlasts you — an institution, a reserve, or a community of practice.
Tsunul Reserve and Field Programs
Tsunul Reserve spans 39 hectares in the Yucatán Peninsula. In 2015, this was a compacted cattle ranch with invasive grasses, no native canopy, and no soil biology. Today it is a recovering tropical dry forest with documented populations of ocelot, coati, grison, and the near-threatened Ocellated Turkey present every morning of every month. The cenote holds five rare endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. Soil organic matter in the food forest has risen significantly, the Collared Forest Falcon is nesting in the cave above the underground water, and over 80 bird species have been documented. Field programs include the five-day Fundamentals Field Intensive, three-to-seven-night Skill Stays, and one-to-six-month Internships and Apprenticeships.
Online Courses and Resources
Planet Healers offers extensive online learning resources, including the free Planet Healer Path guide, Fundamentals of Ecosystem Restoration, Reading Your Landscape, and Species Identification Starter Guide. Paul Morris also teaches the Introduction to Ecosystem Restoration course via Ecosystem Restoration Communities and the Soil Food Web School. All programs use a sliding scale pricing model, with financial assistance available for those who need it.
