Update elephant jungle
The last couple of months we have been working hard at the Elephant Jungle. Now that the basic infrastructure is installed, such as accommodation, running water, the kitchen and solar electricity, we can stay there every week with a group of volunteers. And with their help a lot has been accomplished! Such as the making of about 500 adobe bricks, the foundation of the first building and the germination of thousands of seeds. The next weeks we are building a seed house / education center to be able to do more research and create more biodiversity. We will make this building with earth bags, in the shape of a dome. Next month we will cut a fire break to protect our land from forest fire in the dry season. And we are extending the tree nursery, so that we are prepared for the next tree planting season. Lot’s of projects going on, and many ideas for the future. Click more for a photo overview of the activities on the project site!
