The final update from Al Baydha Project Co-founder Neal Spackman, 9 years in. How desertification resulted from the loss of an indigenous land management system, and how the land has changed since all inputs to the project were ceased in 2016. Neal moved on from Al Baydha in 2018 and can now be contacted at regenerativeresources.co
Al Baydah is a project we’ve been following for a long time here it Solarpunks. This final update from one of the projects co-founders is equally as incredible as it is inspirational.
Solarpunk does not rely on huge technological leaps into the future, nor does it take wistful glances at the past. Instead it looks laterally at what’s already in the world and projects it forward. Projects like Al Baydha and others provide a rich soil of ideas and action from which our struggles to an on-route to a better world can grow.
I’ve attend a few online lectures and courses hosted by Al Baydah’s cofounder. The results of this project are just … incredible.
