A couple years ago I won a design competition with a proposal based on these #bunds. These half moon landforms capture water and slow infiltration retaining moisture so that vegetation has a chance to establish. The more moisture and roots there are in the soil, the healthier the soil is, the more things can grow. They can literally transform landscapes. This is a great example of how simple #naturebaseddesign gestures can solve global issues like #desertification and #foodinsecurity.

Restoring nature for people and climate 🌱💧 The creation of water bunds - also known as ‘earth smiles’ - is an effective method for regreening drought-affected areas, by capturing rainwater that would otherwise run off the dry, hard ground. We’ve collaborated with Justdiggit to make footage of this restoration process available to storytellers through #OpenPlanet – as part of our growing collection of community-driven solutions for people, nature and climate.    Our collection with JustDiggit showcases communities in Africa working to restore landscapes, create healthier pastures for growing crops, and build resilience to the impacts of climate change. 🌱 Discover over 240 clips of JustDiggit’s land conservation and restoration projects ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gyYpGMD6 This footage is also available for commercial licensing via our partners All3Media Archive. #NatureConservation #StoriesForChange #Restoration
