SuperForest Projects: Let’s Globalize the Humanifesto (3/28/10 Update!)

Good morning, SuperForest!

About a year ago, SuperForest launched a project called “Let’s Globalize the Humanifesto.” The goal was simple: find a way to get as many people on the planet to read the SuperForest Humanifesto as possible, but what we’d ask from you SuperForesters in order to achieve that goal would be anything but. We asked SuperForest readers who spoke multiple languages to take some time to translate the document and as far as I know, this was one of the biggest things we had ever asked from you guys.

I must admit, I was a little doubtful at first. It takes a lot of time and effort to translate a document, and I thought it was simply asking for too much from you guys. But I figured it was worth a shot and at the very least, I could get my aunt to do Spanish. With my fingers crossed, I published the first post and what happened afterward was truly amazing for my understanding of the awesomeness of our readers and fellow SuperForesters expanded tenfold.

You truly are a loving and generous group whose words and support inspire and fuel us to no end. Since my last update post, we have received two incredible translations: German by SuperForester Michael and Russian by SuperForester Maria. Meaning in the one year of having this project in motion, the humanifesto is now available in…20 languages!
