Climate Healers & Vegan World 2026!

Climate Healers is a nonprofit founded by , a Human, Earth and Animal Liberation (HEAL) activist and an Executive Producer of four documentaries: The Human Experiment (2013); Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret (2014); What The Health (2017); and A Prayer for Compassion (2019). Dr. Rao is the author of two books, Carbon Dharma: The Occupation of Butterflies and Carbon Yoga: The Vegan Metamorphosis, and is a husband, dad, and since 2010, a star-struck grandfather. He has promised his granddaughter, Kimaya, that the world will be largely Vegan before she turns 16 in 2026, so that people will stop eating her relatives, the animals. He has faith that humanity will transform to keep his pinky promise to Kimaya, not just for ethical reasons, but also out of sheer ecological necessity.

Dr. Rao is a systems specialist with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. He worked on the internet communications infrastructure for twenty years after graduation, during which time he led the transformation of early analog internet connections to more robust digital connections that also ran ten times faster, at 1Gb/s. In 2006, he switched careers and became deeply immersed, full time, in solving the environmental crises affecting humanity, first with Al Gore's Climate Reality Project, and then by founding Climate Healers in 2007 and eventually its Vegan World 2026 project (under Kimaya's direction!).
