Guest Speaker:
Tony Rinaldo, a keynote TEDx Speaker, who had a Eureka moment on a dirt road in Niger, West Africa when he realized that a useless looking bush was, in fact, a tree. It transformed his approach to restoring degraded forests. Tony and a team of local staff and farmers developed Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), to prune and protect trees growing from stumps and roots. It proved to be fast and cheap – by some estimates, up to 36 times cheaper than planting trees. FMNR has since been introduced to 29 countries. Tony will be unpacking the work that he's doing. You are in for a treat.
Of course, no meaningful event is complete without great food and company. Enjoy refreshments and connect with like-minded individuals who are eager to turn their compassion into action.
Don't miss this opportunity to broaden your horizons and contribute to a brighter future for communities worldwide. Together, let's make our world a place where everyone thrives. See you at the World Vision Event! ?
