"Olive Wildlings" is a Non Governmental Organisation focusing on today's environmental issues on Mediterranean countries. Our goal is to maintain the wild vegetation of the Mediterranean ecosystem as it is, for our future generations to be able to profit as well from this prolific gift Mother Nature has given us.
Our symbol is -of course- the Wild Olive Tree, a tree that has so much to teach all of us!
Our Offices are based in Athens, Attica region, for here the Olive Tree was marveled upon and worshiped since antiquity.

Cities are expanding, Forest fires are spreading like the plague every summer, Illegal collection of herbs and wildflowers is not prosecuted and lands are defoliated for the expansion of agricultural fields.

Mediterranean Wild Flora is in Danger!

Our goal is to protect the Natural Ecosystem we have lived in for centuries and give our children the chance to benefit from the many gifts it has to offer.
It is not by chance, that populations who base their nutrition in Mediterranean herbs and fruits and produces, live to be over a 100 years old.

The wild olive is the ancestor of today's cultivated olive tree and grows almost all over the Mediterranean, where the climate favors its development. The wild olive trees exist in large numbers on uncultivated land between olive groves and grow in the roots of the trees.

The wild olive is known since antiquity, since before the domestication that is believed to have taken place in Crete during the Minoan era, it was gathered during the Neolithic era as a food. Later, it is said that the Roman Emperors made oil of these and held it for their personal use. Over the centuries the wild olive oil was forgotten.

The fruit of the wild olive tree is one of the rarest and oldest of these gifts, which literally offers "Drops of Life" to the human body: an oil with very high numbers of phenols and an unblinking wild taste, that wants its time to tame the perception of a experienced taster.

Finally, as a reference to our belief in the excellent works of the earth, and our pre-existing love in Agrielia (Greek for Wild Olive tree), we mark it here, according to our relentless research, as one of the most powerful antioxidants and anti-cancer "natural superpowers".

Without you we can't protect what is meant to help us!
Anyone can help protect and support our cause, with his or her little contribution. It not need be financial, but also physical.
We need the support of anyone who is willing to fight for our cause, and also from public carriers to make sure things will go as planned and the law will be behind our cause.

A poem for this sweet gift of Heaven (Κωστής Παλαμάς - Η ελιά)

# data[].attributes.body
Είμαι του ήλιου η θυγατέρα
Η πιο απ’ όλες χαϊδευτή
Χρόνια η αγάπη του πατέρα
Σ΄ αυτό τον κόσμο με κρατεί
Όσο να πέσω νεκρωμένη
Αυτόν το μάτι μου ζητεί.
Είμ’ η ελιά η τιμημένη

Όπου και αν λάχει κατοικία
Δε μ’ απολείπουν οι καρποί.
Ως τα βαθιά μου γηρατειά,
Δεν βρίσκω στην δουλειά ντροπή.
Μ’ έχει ο θεός ευλογημένη,
Και είμαι γεμάτη προκοπή.
Είμ’ η ελιά η τιμημένη.

Εδώ στον ίσκιο μου μ’ αποκάτω
Ήρθ’ ο Χριστός να αναπαυθεί
Κι ακούστηκ’ η γλυκιά λαλιά του
Λίγο προτού να σταυρωθεί.
Το δάκρυ του, δροσιά αγιασμένη,
Έχει’ ς τη ρίζα μου χυθεί.
Είμ’ η ελιά η τιμημένη.

Και φως πράστατο χαρίζω
Εγώ στην άγρια τη νύχτα.
Τον πλούτο πα δεν τον φωτίζω,
Συ μ’ ευλογείς φτωχολογιά.
Κι αν απ’ τον άνθρωπο διωγμένη,
Με φέγγω μπρος στην Παναγιά.
Είμ’ η ελιά η τιμημένη.
