The Projects

The Făgăraș Mountains in the Southern Carpathians holds some of the world’s last virgin forests which have remained untouched for thousands of years. It is also an area that suffered from widespread clear cutting that began after the fall of communism in 1989. Whole mountainsides were targeted ruining what was once a thriving ecosystem. This is a rewilding project with one of our partners, Mossy Earth.

The story of Vjosa’s struggle to stay wild has been ongoing for well over a decade, it has been threatened by over 30 proposed dam projects which would flood some areas while leaving others dry. By becoming a National Park these dam projects have come to a halt. It marks a significant step towards the conservation and protection of this pristine river ecosystem a huge win for those working to protect it.

We spent just over two months on Sinde Permaculture Farm in Northern Cyprus. They use a fascinating system called permaculture, which starts with observing and understanding the patterns and intricacies of nature and then applying those learnings to our own environments. This approach extends beyond just our gardens and farms, its also about our homes, our communities and our lifestyles. The way our food is produced plays a large role in the conservation of nature. Perhaps it’s time to rethink how we grow food, to shift from a system that works against nature to one that works with nature.

The “Forest of Immortal Stories” campaign is open to all those who want to support the preservation of natural values and aims to promote the vast areas of native grassland on which many ancient trees grow. It’s carried out with the support of Foundation Conservation Carpathia and was born from the desire to protect some of the oldest and most spectacular beech trees in Europe.
