Another way of living together is possible.
I believe another way of living together is possible, where humans, animals and nature can flourish together. That’s why I’ve founded the Transformative Interspecies Democracies project (TIDE).
Dr. Cebuan Bliss
I'm Cebby, an academic and educator specialising in animal rights-related topics and ethical biodiversity conservation. Since 2018, I have been focussing on research and teaching aligned with my life mission, even when it means not choosing the ‘safe’ path. I have been working 'hands on' at animal sanctuaries and with rewilding projects to understand what more-than-human inclusion means in practice.
Can I help you? Take a look at my work and get in touch.
To support flourishing interspecies communities where the more-than-human world is an active stakeholder.
To develop models of more-than-human inclusive governance and inspire regenerative interspecies community living through education, research and practice.
With the Rights of Nature increasingly recognised around the world, Transformative Interspecies Democracies - TIDE - encourages interspecies flourishing: reciprocal relationships between humans, other animals, and nature which promote thriving.
My work with TIDE is a living experiment: exploring what becomes possible when compassion, curiosity and community guide the way we engage with the world and its inhabitants. It is an invitation to reimagine our relationships with other animals, ecosystems, and one another, not as separate entities, but as co-creators of a shared future.
Why does this matter?
True flourishing for humans and other animals can be enhanced by cooperation across species barriers. They have a voice and lessons for us to learn should we heed them. Over the centuries, many humans have strived to live by more ethical standards. If we have the means to create ‘the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible’, to use the words of Charles Eisenstein, then why not try. A world in which multispecies justice is enabled and we live in greater balance with ourselves and the world around us. This is the tide change we can aim for.
