Any plant species young or old, which community recognises and promises to let it live forever. The earth leaders should inspire communities and declare at least one tree as the mother tree and strive to protect. This is apart from conserving and planting many trees.

A mother tree can be any tree which community recognises and is responsible for its existence

The mother tree is any plant species young or old, that a community promises to let it have a complete life with freedom. Existing trees could be identified and declared by the community as mother trees. Individuals or organizations could register the piece of land where the tree exists and declare the tree as a mother tree.

Declaring old trees as mother trees have greater value. The old trees living in an area establish connections with all other trees through roots and fungi. They also become a host for a wide variety of local fauna. Around them, several other plant species live in a symbiotic relationship and harmony. The people living around also establish an emotional relationship as they cherish memories of living and growing with it. They are the mute witness to all the happenings in the environment and the changes happening over the years.

They could exist like the Bodhi tree under which Gautama Buddha, is said to have achieved enlightenment is still existing. Its saplings are propagated throughout the world with great reverence.

Beyond declaring a mother tree, earth leaders should declare, Geo Spirit Sacred Groves. Such sacred groves could exist independently or they could be part of every Geo Spirit Center and Geo Spirit Commune. These center’s would inspire many earth leaders to strive for a global commune living with the least ecological footprint.
