Solving local problems
through local solutions
Orkydaceae is different from ordinary environmental consultancies because our reports, Orkyds, focus less on how to manage the impacts society places on the environment and more on how to align local practices with local ecological processes.

Localities may be the same in some ways and similar in others, but no two localities are identical. What this means is that there is not one sustainable-solution applicable and distributable to everywhere. Orkydaceae’s vision of sustainability comes from the observation of any locality being different from anywhere else on Earth: Sustainability is different everywhere, and each locality has a sustainability unique to and characteristic of its inhabitants. By accentuating the connotation of becoming Closer to Earth inherent to the term ‘Sustainability’, Orkydaceae makes Sustainability relevant to localities through local-solutions.
Orkydaceae locates sustainability by articulating a locality's ecological,
political, and economic dimensions.

Orkydaceae focuses on how populations of people interrelate with their local ecology. To connect sustainable development to the ecology of localities, Orkydaceae flips-the-script and makes localities primary. Our approach is not “top-down” nor “bottom-up” but horizontal, from locality to locality. Our purpose is to elaborate sustainability so that the dialogues on sustainability become a dialogue on how stewardship of local ecology entwines with the identity of a localities’ locals.
