Transition moving from one form, state, style or place to another - a process of transformationom one form, state, style or place to another
"We’re rapidly decimating the Earth’s forests, animals, insects, fish, fresh water—even the topsoil we need to grow our crops. We’ve already transgressed five of the nine planetary boundaries that define humanity’s safe operating space, and yet global GDP is expected to triple by 2060, with potentially calamitous consequences.
We need to forge a new era for humanity—one that is defined, at its deepest level, by a transformation in the way we make sense of the world, and a concomitant revolution in our values, goals, and collective behavior. In short, we need to change the basis of our global civilization. We must move from a civilization based on wealth accumulation to one that is life-affirming: an ecological civilization."

The Biodiversity Park feasibility study is being funded through Transition Together, part of an international movement of communities coming together to reimagine and rebuild our world. Since 2005, thousands of groups have emerged in villages, cities, universities and schools in more than 50 countries. We are proud to add our parish-based initiative to the transition movement.
Transition is about people taking practical action together in their local area to address the big challenges they face. In practice, they are setting up renewable energy projects, re-localising food systems, sparking entrepreneurship, rewilding cities, creating important community spaces and weaving webs of connection and support.
What makes the transition movement unique is its commitment to Transition Principles. We aim to respect resource limits and create resilience, promote inclusivity and social justice, pay attention to balance, decentralise power, experiment and encourage learning, collaborate and foster positive visioning and creativity.
Transition groups around the world are supported by the charity Transition Network which works to inspire, connect and train communities as they self-organise around the Transition model.
