The Forest Underground

Tony and Liz Rinaudo's journey in the Sahara led to the discovery of Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), a groundbreaking method for restoring degraded landscapes without planting trees. This sustainable approach has transformed reforestation efforts, particularly in Niger, where farmers have rehabilitated over six million hectares of land, significantly increasing their crop yields and income. Tony's innovative work has earned him recognition as a Right Livelihood Award Laureate and a role as Principal Climate Action Advisor with World Vision.
