We’re using underground forests to turn the desert green without planting a single tree.

Across Africa, forests are disappearing faster than anywhere else on Earth.
But hidden under the surface, a solution is waiting:
Underground Forests. Root systems that are still alive and with the potential to restore huge areas of barren landscape.
In our 33rd mission, we’re drawing on ancient wisdom and the discovery of an Australian agriculturist to help these underground forests burst out.
A special thanks to World Vision, Justdiggit and Richard Allenby-Pratt for additional footage and photos.
