'‘Our planet is what we all have in common, so let’s unite and take action to re-green and restore the earth, when it is still possible.''

Samwel Jakinda

Technical support landscape restoration

“I am enthusiastic about ensuring sustainable access to water and sanitation for all with special focus in rural communities. The use of landscapes for rainwater harvesting for human, livestock, wildlife and plants is something that has always interested me. I am therefore delighted to make my contribution to the Justdiggit restoration programme which uses sustainable models to restore degraded lands.”

Dennis Karpes

Co-Founder

"When we damage the Earth, we damage ourselves. At last, most of us are aware of this, because of the huge awakening that we are in. We human beings are as vulnerable as any other living species, and we depend on healthy ecosystems, and the services that Mother Earth provides. We are building a global restoration movement that has never been seen before, and it will only succeed if everyone will play their part! So why not join us? Dig in."
