Commonland - worldwide landscape restoration
Commonland
Worldwide landscape restoration projects.
Four returns in three zones.
Healthy landscapes and water systems are the basis of our life.
They provide food, water, clean air, a stable climate, biodiversity, good health, security and happiness. However, one-fourth of the world’s land mass is seriously degraded from centuries of human activity.
Think: deforestation, overgrazing, overexploitation, the building of infrastructure and pollution. In economic terms, this incurs an estimated loss of more than USD 4.3 trillion per year. The good news is that this process can be reversed.
Uitleg Willem Ferwerda (video - Dutch)
Met ons puur op financiële winst gerichte denken en handelen putten we de planeet uit. Al bijna een kwart van de aarde is door de mens onbewoonbaar gemaakt. Dat het radicaal anders kan, bewijst Willem Ferwerda met met Commonland: de mens als hersteller, in plaats van vernietiger van de planeet.

Integrated landscape management and large-scale landscape restoration should be in every company’s business strategy because in order to reach the Sustainable Development Goal on Land Degradation Neutrality (SDG Number 15.3) scaling up and acceleration of business-driven landscape restoration is urgently needed.
