Reforesting 5 Million+ Hectares (Webinar Replay with Tony Rinaudo) + Vote on a Snow Bison Name

Published: Fri, 06/23/17

Greetings ,

I know I say this too often but yesterday's
webinar with Tony Rinaudo was incredibly
inspiring.  It was not billions of dollars, or a massive
labor force which allowed 5 Million Hectares of
land to be reforested across Africa...it was a simple idea. 

Tony proved that farmers could vastly improve their own livelihoods by
letting the trees on their land regrow.  As the farmers saw
the results of FMNR, they spread it to other farmers, until
​​​​​​​over 5 Million Hectares of desertified land was reforested over 3 decades.
​​​​​​​
Like many of us,  Tony started his work decades ago feeling like he was part of a hopeless struggle.  He wanted to give up...but eventually, he found an idea, and that idea spread.  This webinar not only has deep lessons about ecology and social missions, but also lessons about life.  In Tony's case, his persistence, his hope, and his faith kept him going when he could have easily given up, and the world is a better place for it.

FMNR has enormous potential to transform degraded land worldwide, at low cost, on a continent wide scale...and it started with an idea taken from indigenous wisdom.  I hope you give the webinar a watch.  We'll keep it up for free till Monday.
 
Vote to Name that Bison!
The People have spoken!  We have 12 potential names for the Siberian Bison that will be introduced to Pleistocene Park in Siberia.  We'll get a sweet portrait with the Bison's name on it so this should be fun.  Also, person who's name won wins a prize!

Stay creative, hopeful, and keep designing a better future,
