About
The Regenerative Atlas is a landscape of regenerative research — submitted and edited by the people who use it, and curated by Malina Dabrowska. It is a collective knowledge exchange and a place to find the connections and kinship between themes, reports, papers and current thinking across regenerative practice, to explore them as constellations, and to add to the library yourself.
A landscape, not a list
Regenerative practice is a broad spectrum of ideas, reports, toolkits and research papers — it is inspiring and hopeful but often difficult to navigate and grasp. A map shows the broad landscape of themes, points to connections between research and themes, and allows one to wander through and find new threads.
The Atlas is drawn by its users. Every tag is a shape of the research filed under it; pieces that share a vocabulary are drawn together into islands; the lines between them are kinship where two pieces with the same tags are worth reading together. Nothing here is ranked. The map shows what is related, not what is important — that judgement stays with you.
Created by the people who use it
Anyone can add a source. Adding one takes a link: the Atlas reads what it can from the page, suggests tags from a curated vocabulary, but you decide how it is edited and tagged. That decision is the contribution — where a piece is filed is what gives the map its meaning. Entries can be corrected and re-filed as the field evolves.
Yours to leave with
The library is open. Every record can be taken away — the reading under any one theme or constellation of research can be downloaded as a .txt bibliography list or as a .pdf of the research card. Bibliographic records are shared under CC0; the linked works remain with their authors.
Curated
The Atlas is curated by Malina Dabrowska, a designer and strategist exploring regenerative practice. Curation here means tending rather than gatekeeping: keeping the vocabulary coherent, connecting communities of practitioners, and making sure the shape of the map still answers to the shape of the research field.
Evolving the Atlas
This is a research piece which will continue to evolve. Reach out if you want to be a part of it or if you are interested in further amplifying its reach and use within the community of practice.
