AqueductGlobal
We are stewards.
AqueductGlobal connects you with businesses and projects that honor animal sovereignty—sanctuaries providing refuge, innovators creating animal-free materials, municipalities protecting migration routes. Find aligned options wherever you are.
About AqueductGlobal
In a garden moment, a vision emerged: a world where animals are honored not someday, somewhere else—but here, now, through the choices we make and the systems we build.This platform channels appreciation—both attention and value—toward businesses, projects, and communities creating that world.We’re local and global simultaneously - connecting you with aligned options wherever you are.Join us in honoring what wants to emerge.
AqueductGlobal Directory
We’re sculpting an architecture that makes stewardship visible, celebrated, and economically viable.When you discover a sanctuary, a restaurant using ethical suppliers, a municipality protecting migration routes, or an innovator creating animal-free materials, you’re not just making a purchase—you’re participating in a living system of care.As founding participants join, this directory will grow into a thriving ecosystem where conscious consumers, ethical businesses, impact funders, and communities working toward flourishing can find each other.
Animal sovereignty
Truly honoring these 12 principles will require that we protect and restore the habitats animals need to thrive.
LIFE
BODILY HEALTH
BODILY INTEGRITY
SENSES & THOUGHT
EMOTIONS
CHOICE
AFFILIATION
And five more principles detailed in our participation agreement.
About the Founder
Here’s what I see.Innovators engineering proteins that never required an animal. Municipalities redesigning roads around migration paths. Sanctuaries giving refuge. Restaurants building supply chains on ethics instead of efficiency. Materials labs growing leather from mushrooms. Each in their own world, but all aiming toward the same horizon.What struck me wasn’t that this work existed—it was that it existed like stars too far apart to form a constellation.So I stepped back far enough to see the shape.Martha Nussbaum—philosopher, legal theorist, architect of the capabilities approach to justice—gave me the framework. She asked: what does it mean for any creature to flourish? Not what rights we choose to grant, but what capacities nature has evolved over millennia.Life. Bodily health. Bodily integrity. Senses and thought. Emotions. Practical reason. Affiliation. Play. Control over one’s environment.
These aren’t human inventions. They’re biological realities, observable across species. They’re what evolution has given. And they’re what justice requires us to honor.What if we organized ourselves not by industry or product category, but by the capabilities we’re choosing to honor?The restaurant protecting bodily integrity through sourcing and the materials company doing the same through innovation—they’re expressing the same principle, through different craft. The person restoring habitat and the architect designing animal-safe buildings—same evolutionary logic, different medium.AqueductGlobal is the architecture that connects this pattern. When you can see how your work relates to someone else’s—how the sanctuary and the supply chain innovator both protect life, how different talents serve the same capabilities—the mosaic becomes visible.Nature responds to our attention. When we honor what evolution has given, momentum builds. We learn from each other. We resource each other. We make stewardship economically viable.This is what I’m building:Infrastructure for the current already moving—so we can see the shape of where we’re going, and build it together.
