We are regenerating coral thicket and are creating productive agricultural systems with it
Experience from our work for Chumbe Island, Ungujaa and Misali Island, Pemba on how an ecosystem can recover put into practice. The natural forest has become a local biodiversity hub.
These satellite photos of our site in Matemwe (2020 and 2007) document the evolution from degraded coral rag into a natural forest and living ecosystem within thirteen years.


The #permaculture ABC
first plant a tree
then one two three
the birds the bees and you and me
we can not live without a tree
we care for Mother Earth
we care for people
and we share
we follow Mother Nature
and live happy everywhere
