Abstract
Nothing is more satisfying to us than seeing a once derelict, degraded parcel of land return to a viable, healthy ecosystem supporting a diversity of life that was previously absent. What’s even more satisfying is knowing that people from all different professions and interests around the world are restoring ecosystems and that we all work together as silent partners in a global movement to repair the planetary environment on which we all depend for sustenance.
