Fools & Dreamers: Regenerating a Native Forest (Full Documentary)
The incredible story of how degraded gorse-infested farmland has been
regenerated back into beautiful native forest.
Host a screening of the film:
While we've made this film free to watch on YouTube, if you're holding a
public screening you'll need a license. We've made the fees very low to
be accessible to all communities and we'll be splitting the income with
Hinewai Reserve. Check out http://foolsanddreamers.com

Fools & Dreamers: Regenerating a Native Forest is a 30-minute
documentary about Hinewai Nature Reserve, on New Zealand’s Banks
Peninsula, and its kaitiaki/manager of 30 years, botanist Hugh Wilson.
When, in 1987, Hugh let the local community know of his plans to allow
the introduced ‘weed’ gorse to grow as a nurse canopy to regenerate
farmland into native forest, people were not only skeptical but outright
angry – the plan was the sort to be expected only of “fools and
dreamers”.
Now considered a hero locally and across the country, Hugh oversees 1500
hectares resplendent in native forest, where birds and other wildlife
are abundant and 47 known waterfalls are in permanent flow. He has
proven without doubt that nature knows best – and that he is no fool.

CINEMIEN SPECIAL | THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM | DEEL II: "Cynisme gaat ons niet helpen''
How to green the world's deserts and reverse climate change | Allan Savory
"Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it's happening to about two-thirds of the world's grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.
sourceEcosystem Based Adaptation, - by, John D. Liu, FULL VIDEO, The Great Work Of Our Time
n this presentation, John D. Liu describes and shows video of his long formative journey starting with the revitalization of the Loess Plateau in China. John later turned this experience into the BBC World Documentary, Hope In A Changing Climate. This is the Full Video of John D. Liu's presentation, Ecosystem Based Adaptation, The Great Work Of Our Time, that he presented at The Brooklyn Commons in New York on October 21st 2016. The Loess Plateau was a large, decimated eco-system and with an orchestrated community effort was able to be restored, a feet no one knew was possible before it started. John was transformed by this amazing restoration process and has been able to share it with many other countries such as Ethiopia and Rwanda to help them repeat the success. John is continuing these efforts with the company Commonland which is developing restoration camps around the world. He talks about all of these experiences and the knowledge he learned from them in this entertaining presentation. Enjoy!

Unbroken Ground explains the critical role food will play in the next frontier of our efforts to solve the environmental crisis. It explores four areas of agriculture that aim to change our relationship to the land and oceans. Most of our food is produced using methods that reduce biodiversity, decimate soil and contribute to climate change. We believe our food can and should be a part of the solution to the environmental crisis – grown, harvested and produced in ways that restore our land, water and wildlife. The film tells the story of four groups that are pioneers in the fields of regenerative agriculture, regenerative grazing, diversified crop development and restorative fishing. http://www.patagoniaprovisions.com
