Our 2020 campaign is a success!
Thank you for joining us in connecting people through storytelling.
**UPDATE: Thank you for making our 2020 fundraising campaign a success. Your support is gratefully welcome at any time. Circumstances allowing, we hold annual fundraising campaigns in the last 4-6 weeks of the calendar year, during which we offer special rewards. You can sign up for our newsletter here for up-to-date announcements about fundraising events and other news from the Out of Eden Walk Trail. All donations go 100% toward covering essential project costs. This campaign is complete, but you can donate here at any time of year.**
When the Out of Eden Walk set out from Africa back in 2013, there was little way of knowing the tumult that lay ahead along the trails blazed by our Stone Age ancestors to the tip of South America. A global plague has destroyed countless lives and upended frail economies. State-promoted nativism and xenophobia are on the rise across continents, stoking fear and violence. Millions of citizens around the globe have marched in the streets, demanding an end to generations of institutional racism. And the climate crisis is pushing our shared planet to the edge of unfathomable changes. These momentous events make our unique storytelling project more timely and urgent than ever. And we need your help to continue striding ahead, building trails of empathy and understanding among all cultures.

A MESSAGE FROM THE TRAIL
December 30th, 2020: THANK YOU!
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every person who joined our 2020 fundraising campaign. With just hours remaining, we have reached and even exceeded our goal of $75,000. In a year largely defined by challenges, you have helped achieve one of the most successful grassroots fundraising outcomes of the entire walk. Thank you for making it possible to stride ahead into the eighth year of our shared journey.
We also thank Abundance Foundation for generously contributing a matching grant that doubled the impact of reader donations up to $15,500 in this campaign.
If you haven’t donated yet and would like to, there is still time—the campaign ends at 11:59pm Eastern Time on December 31st, 2020, and every dollar raised here will be used to cover the storytelling, education, trail and programming expenses detailed below.
ABOUT THE MATCH
We are glad to announce that your generous participation fulfilled the $15,500 in matching funds pledged by the Abundance Foundation. Abundance Foundation works to promote whole and healthy communities, serving as a connective hub to a network of visionaries, innovative projects, and organizations that are working together to transform scarcity into abundance. Abundance Foundation is proud to have supported Out of Eden Learn and Out of Eden Walk from before Paul Salopek took his first steps on this journey, and is committed to excellence in education and a world in which all our stories can be valued and heard. Stephen Kahn, President of the Abundance Foundation, remarks, “Especially now, when forces seek to divide us from one another, the Abundance Foundation is honored to share in this journey that serves as an antidote to division.”

OUR VOW
• To keep going.
• To include a diversity of voices and narratives that center local perspectives.
• To grow our education efforts to reach underserved and little-seen communities along the project’s transcontinental walking route.
If ever there was a moment for the Out of Eden Walk’s core mission—slow down, listen, take time to tell a story—it’s now.
We continue to need your help to do this. Please consider donating to our crowdfunding campaign. This epic trek, a rediscovery of the communal Earth, belongs to everyone, and it is powered partly by you—our readers.
Over the past eight years, the Out of Eden Walk has traveled on foot more than 11,000 miles (17,600 kilometers) from its original starting point at the early human fossil site of in Herto Bouri, Ethiopia, to a Covid-19 enforced pausing point today in the jungles of northern Myanmar.

14,000 miles (22,400 kilometers) of trail remain to reach our species’s ancient finish line in Tierra del Fuego. Though it began as one man’s journey, Paul Salopek’s storytelling pilgrimage has grown into a digital crossroads for an international network of students, storytellers, educators, scientists, cultural experts, and anyone questing for thoughtful, fact-based cross-cultural narratives in our age of fast, shallow, and often divisive news.
Over the next year, your assistance will help:
• Bolster the storytelling in the next big country, China. The foot trail across China is 6,000 miles (9,600 kilometers) long and will take more than a year to complete. The route, through culturally diverse Yunnan, the Confucian heartland of Xian, and the far northeastern forests of Heilongjiang, will form a transect rarely if ever walked by an outsider, admitting readers into the lives of ordinary Chinese people along the way.
• Support diverse voices through an inclusive new tapestry of narratives that emphasize the talents of the myriad of storytellers along the route: text by local writers, photos and illustrations by regional visual artists, and multimedia projects that spotlight gifted youths whose work would rarely be recognized outside of their communities.
• Expand ‘slow storytelling’ workshops en route that share the tools of immersive narrative with both students and working professionals. These learning exchanges were pioneered with great success in India. They now will be replicated in China and beyond.
Funding from our partner organizations only partially covers the project’s essential costs, which include trail expenses and more. We rely on members of the Out of Eden Walk community to keep moving forward each year. This global journey is people-powered: we cannot shoulder on without contributions from readers like you.
We are grateful, as ever, to have you walk with us.
“Looking at the work created from these walks is extremely encouraging. It points to the potential in the simple act of walking as well as the value in having varied perspectives on the human and natural worlds.” — Siddharth Agarwal, Out of Eden Walking Partner in India and founder of Veditum.

WHO WE ARE, WHERE WE’RE FROM, AND WHERE WE’RE GOING
Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist and National Geographic Fellow Paul Salopek has nearly completed the 7th year of a 24,000-mile walk across the globe—a walk that retraces the pathways of the first humans to journey out of Africa during the Stone Age, until they ran out of land at the tip of South America. Along the way, through a steady stream of multimedia reportage, professional media workshops, classroom interactions, and one-on-one mentoring, Paul and the small team of Out of Eden Walk partners and educators are building an enduring community of fellow storytellers of all ages, who will carry on the project’s philosophy of slowing down to tell complex stories of our time by delving beneath the usual shallow headlines, and sharing the human experience with wonder and empathy.
Now roughly 11,000 miles, or some 18,000 kilometers, into the journey, the storytelling trail ahead will continue to report on stories from Southeast Asia such as deforestation, traditional craftsmanship, and more. We are also preparing to enter China. This upcoming section of the Walk’s travels—covering roughly 3,000 miles of the entire 11,000 mile journey—will be vital to the Walk’s reporting on humanity in the 21st century.
Reader Comment: “I keep coming back to your articles as a cleanse from the predictable monotony of my Google feed of political drama and consumer interests. Funny that your dusty sweaty steps feel so clean and honest compared to all the disposable news of each day.”

WHY WE FUNDRAISE
The Out of Eden Walk project is an IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that needs your support to survive. Donations are always welcome, but rather than continuously ask our readers for donations, we hold one fundraising event per year so that for the rest of the time you follow Out of Eden Walk, you can enjoy the experience without interruption. In addition, this event allows us to honor your participation with special recognition, including automatic inclusion on the Out of Eden Walk donor map as well as a variety of other rewards (please see page above for details).
Last year, thanks to you, we reached and even exceeded our fundraising goal. Today, we need your support at a higher level to fund the crucial upcoming segment of the Walk through China in 2021 and a number of exciting initiatives on-the-ground to share the benefits of “slow storytelling” with more students, educators, and concerned global citizens than ever before.
Read on to see why thousands of people from the Out of Eden Walk community have contributed to five successful crowd-funding campaigns over the past seven years. We thank each and every one of you who have contributed in the past and who are joining again or for the first time this year to help us bridge our funding needs.
One of the recurring delights of walking through the world is encountering indigenous gate and fence technologies. Here’s a log-step design from the Dima Hasao Hills of Assam, India, demonstrated by walking partner Hormazd Mehta.
WHERE DOES YOUR DONATION GO?
Walking Partners:
Out of Eden Walk is committed to providing an above-standard global wage for the Walking Partners who join Paul on the trail as professional and powerful storytellers in their own right, and not merely as guides, translators, and logisticians. Walking Partners are the backbone of the journey, and often spend months on the trail with Paul, so this important expense can reach tens of thousands of dollars per year.
Reporting Equipment:
With seven years of walking under his belt, Paul has honed the art of packing light. But the demands of being a journalist on the move—slow or not—include keeping up with a fast-paced publishing schedule, often in “unwired” areas with limited or nonexistent Internet and mobile connectivity. This can mean expensive satellite phone charges, as well as periodic laptop, sound recorder, and phone replacement.
Travel Essentials:
These include basics such as food, water, lightweight camping equipment and foul-weather gear. Paul has also traveled with a pack animal on many occasions—such as a camel, horse or donkey—to assist in the carrying of supplies; these are costly, but hugely beneficial to the Walk’s ease of travel.
Home Base:
Our tiny headquarters in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA handle behind-the-scenes support to keep the walk moving. The core team actively manages the content creation and curation, educational coordination, audience outreach, fundraising, financial management, international communications and back-end logistical support for Paul and his Walking Partners.

ACHIEVEMENTS
Storytelling
National Geographic
Out of Eden Walk has published nine feature stories, including three cover stories, in National Geographic. The most recent, in the August 2020 issue of the magazine, is “Water Everywhere and Nowhere,” which illuminates India’s severe and deepening water crisis—and its global impact—with photographs by John Stanmeyer. To complement the publishing of this article, a digital panel consisting of Paul, John, a National Geographic Society videographer, and four Indian Walking Partners joined three roundtable conversations about the construction of this article and exploring India at boot level. (Please see more in “community engagement,” below.)
Trail Dispatches
The Walk has created more than 400,000 words in almost 500 dispatches hosted on the National Geographic Society website, www.outofedenwalk.org. National Geographic Magazine has featured nine Walk articles, making it one of the longest-running storytelling series in the magazine’s 130-year history (with more on the way). A partnership with The New Yorker launched last year, bringing the Walk to a whole new audience of readers.

Media and News
PBS NewsHour has featured Out of Eden Walk seven times. NPR’s Morning Edition has featured Out of Eden Walk five times. Over 50 prestigious news organizations worldwide have covered Out of Eden Walk, including the New York Times, WBEZ, the BBC, GQ, VICE, and the CBC. In addition, almost 800 Out of Eden Walk articles have been translated by more than 290 volunteers in 34 different languages on www.outofedenwalk.org.
National Geographic Slow Journalism Workshops
In 2018, media workers in India participated in three National Geographic Society-funded Out of Eden Walk/Slow Journalism workshops. The workshops lasted three weeks, recruiting a total of 54 media professionals selected from hundreds of applicants in Delhi, Chennai, and Kolkata. The workshop attendees’ work reached an estimated 25 million people in India.
Reader Comment: “…reading your words and following your excellent posts keep that still-more-than-an-ember fire alive that makes my feet itch and mind wander to places not yet seen or experienced.”
Education
Out of Eden Walk-Chicago
An offshoot of the Out of Eden Walk funded by the Robert R. McCormick Foundation in Chicago, Out of Eden Walk-Chicago seeks to promote slow storytelling skills while fostering understanding between communities in one of the most diverse, yet segregated cities in the United States. The Walk has partnered with Esri to create “Homestories,” an interactive GIS map in which Chicago residents can pinpoint and describe locations across the city which represent home to them. Community walks have been organized in neighborhoods across the city, giving students and other city residents a chance to explore and observe Chicago through a new lens. In Spring 2020, the Out of Eden Walk-Chicago team took the community walks online, designing a series of virtual events to foster connectivity and promote empathy through stories in keeping with social distance requirements for public health and safety.
A new social media initiative inspired by Out of Eden Walk-Chicago is unifying, and highlighting, more voices from across the globe than ever before.

“Slow Storytelling” Workshops
With support from National Geographic Society, we piloted three successful workshops for media professionals in India in 2018. Over 55 working media professionals were selected from a pool of hundreds of applicants. After a rigorous screening process, the workshop participants learned a “slow storytelling” toolkit co-taught by Paul Salopek and Out of Eden Walk University Outreach Director Don Belt. The resulting articles published by participants reached over 25 million readers in India.
National Geographic Learning
National Geographic Learning has created a variety of different educational programs for students to engage with Out of Eden Walk. These learning platforms include Google Earth Voyager Story, and an accompanying Idea Set for students to visualize and engage with the journey interactively online. NGL also offers classroom activities, and regularly coordinates “Explorer Classroom” sessions—live digital interactions in which students can speak with Paul from his trail locations and ask him questions. Thousands of students have joined eleven Explorer Classroom hangouts with Paul so far, with more engagements scheduled in the future.
Out of Eden Walk has also been featured in National Geographic’s Young Explorer magazine, which is published in the U.S. and Poland and circulates to hundreds of classrooms. Two Out of Eden Walk features in National Geographic’s Young Explorer magazine, published in the U.S. and Polish editions and circulated to hundreds of classrooms, had impact potential for thousands of kindergarten through middle-school-age students.
Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting
Our partners at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting connect students and teachers from elementary through university levels with Out of Eden Walk – providing access to free lesson plans and educational curriculums for Out of Eden Walk-inspired programs. One example is the “Walk Like A Journalist” activity, which teaches students the skills to slow down and produce their own stories. The Pulitzer Center also connects thousands of boy and girl Scouts across the U.S. with the Out of Eden Walk through video and summer camp activities. Over 120,000 students from U.S. classrooms and the BSA’s Philmont Ranch summer program have enjoyed learning from Out of Eden Walk resources and methodology through Pulitzer Center-designed and supported lesson plans, curriculums, and in-person events.
Interactive Storytelling Maps
With the help of cartographer Jeff Blossom from the Harvard Center for Geographic Analysis, Out of Eden Walk has produced a variety of storytelling maps which guide viewers through regions and cities of the Walk trail – these include Walking Kolkata and Walking Tbilisi, both of which provide in-depth snapshots of cities and the people who inhabit them. A cartographic lens into the modern world we live in is essential to the Walk’s educational mission, and a core component of the project’s storytelling.

University Outreach and Programming
Former National Geographic magazine editor and current university educator Don Belt directs the Out of Eden Walk University Outreach program in partnership with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. Our University Outreach program trains hundreds of educators and thousands of students across the United States using the immersive reporting tools of the Out of Eden. Don’s “Walk on Campus” workshop equips students across disciplines to walk their communities and produce in-depth, often award-winning student storytelling projects. Thirty-five U.S. universities and colleges have hosted workshops for more than 300 educators and thousands of students. The Society of Professional Journalists awarded Syracuse University’s Out of Eden Walk-inspired slow journalism project “Online Student Project of the Year” in 2016.
Out of Eden Learn, Project Zero
Out of Eden Learn is an online education platform serving students aged K-12. This program uses Out of Eden Walk methodology, and reporting on subjects such as climate change, borders and migration, to provide inspiration and core readings for 30,000+ students representing 60 countries and 40 states in the U.S. Designed and supported by our partners at Project Zero at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Out of Eden Learn brings students of similar age groups and diverse geographical and socioeconomic settings come together for collective learning experiences focused on slowing down, exchanging perspectives, and making connections to larger human stories.
Reader Comment: “Having followed Paul’s travels and his wonderful dispatches for several years now, I am struck by all the connections we have with each other. All of us humans are interconnected on this beautiful planet and your stories bring us closer together.”

Community Engagement
Out of Eden Walk kicked off a series of three weekly virtual round tables to discuss “walked storytelling” in July 2020. The publication of the article in National Geographic Magazine, “Water Everywhere, and Nowhere,” was based on Paul Salopek’s 2,400-mile trek through northern India–and across the troubled Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra watersheds. Older students and educators joined and asked questions of the international panel of master storytellers, inspired river conservationists, and veteran walkers. The three sessions addressed the challenges and rewards of covering such a vast, subcontinental story on foot and the natural environment and the human landscape. The series, which was shared by National Geographic to impact over one million people on social media, was recorded and can be watched here:
Walked India Roundtable 1
Walked India Roundtable 2
Walked India Roundtable 3
Participants discuss issues related to India’s current water crisis, and the Walk’s 2020 National Geographic article “Water Everywhere and Nowhere.”
Out of Eden Walk-Chicago launched the first in a series of Chicago HomeStories “Cafes” on July 12, 2020. Out of Eden Walk-Chicago builds understanding and dialogue through grassroots storytelling, crowdsourced cartography, and neighborhood walks. Originating from the many communities, voices, and stories of Chicago, HomeStories is an ongoing, citizen-fueled collaborative storytelling map that anyone can contribute to, anytime, from anywhere in the world. The Cafe series provides virtual workshopping events that create a fun space to come together with Out of Eden Walk-Chicago team members online, engage in thoughtful conversation about the concept of home, share their own stories of home verbally, and create a HomeStory online. On May 26, 2020, Out of Eden Walk-Chicago organized a digital roundtable “Chicago Homestories: Three Neighborhood Perspectives” exploring the concept of home. The panel included Paul Salopek, professional storyteller Emily Lansana, National Geographic Teaching Fellow Peg Keiner and lifelong innovator and founder of True West Loop Moshe Tossmat.
Reader Comment: “Your reflections are like water-worn stones collected from a river of stories, not rounded and polished for beauty, but unique stories that reflect the shared experience of so many people, places, and histories. They make evident the connections of humanity and land that we share.”
