Footage by Matthieu Paley @paleyphoto | A before-and-after drone shot of our land and agroforestry project, after a devastating fire hit it two weeks ago during a heat wave here in Portugal.
It was a hot day, and we were preparing for a workshop on regenerative agriculture. Then smoke appeared behind the hill. The rest of the day turned into a surreal experience. I witnessed the fire creep up on our land and turn more than two years of passionate work, planting a forest of around 1,500 trees and plants, to ashes in a few hours. I never thought the fire would climb all the way to the street and burn our brick houses, a caravan, and more. Fueled by adrenaline, I rushed here and there, emptying our main water-irrigation pipe down below toward the fire and trying to save what I could. But at some point, you must leave when the flames are too close, too big—and when the police and firefighters bring you to reality, telling you to get the hell out. You back up and just watch helplessly, like everyone else, trying to mentally guide the fire away. You watch its dance, its work of destruction. Then days pass and you think of it as a work of renewal, and any green blade is a miracle again. That’s where I stand now. More determined than ever to create more resilience, plant more trees, create more awareness. #forestfire#climatechange#resilience#regeneration

Insects are an integral part of every terrestrial ecosystem, performing irreplaceable ecological services.
.
Though there are 42 billion tons of greenhouse gases being emitted into the atmosphere annually, the reason we still have relative climatic stability is due to ecosystems—forests, wetlands, grasslands, coral reefs, mangroves, marshes, lakes, oceans, and tundra. Remove insects from ecosystems and they fall apart and fail.
.
To quote history’s greatest entomologist, E.O. Wilson, it is “the little things that run the natural world.”

Bamboo regeneration use-case 🎋🌎
2 Year Transformation With Bamboo: 2018 vs 2020 🌱
Inspirational showcase of what can be achieved in a record time of just 24 month. In Neotropical Climate, with depleted red clay soil. On a, topographic speaking, Tropical Mountain Rainforest. With #Guadua angustifolia – #bamboo.
Guadua is the endemic bamboo species of South America specifically: Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The area we transformed was historically a stark depleted cacao-ccn51 monoculture with very low cacao production. We first terra transformed into big terraces, for better future access. And then started transplanting with Guadua seedlings, and tropical #fruit trees, as well as selective not-chopping down wild endemic pioneer plants.
Now obviously within the 2 years, the fruit trees are almost not visible yet, compared to the bamboo, but they will grow within the bamboo forest. 🌎 Keep in mind that even thought the article is about Guadua (bamboo) transformation, its NOT a Guadua bamboo monoculture! We have used Guadua and a few Giant bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper) near the access road and fence border with the neighbor. Also various other natural bio-engineering-elements.
All terraces have been reinforced with Vetiver grass as #bioengineering element to control damage by extreme tropical rainfall such as erosion landslides. Additionally we transplanted perennial peanut (Arachis pintoi) to control overall loss of top #soil. The #vetiver grass also helps to enhance the soil activity, attracting #microorganism with the deep root system and its strong fresh scent. Did you know that bamboo has relatively low water requirements and that its root system is an excellent #watershed protector? Also you can think of bamboo as of a natural water tank and filter. Water cycle regulation. Every bamboo trunk will push the water to the tallest part of the trunk and back down within every 24 hours. This helps to regulate water flow in tropical climate.
