I would like to volunteer on a permaculture or reafforestation project in Iran in mid 2010. I have a husband and two children who would come with me. Can you suggest anything- are there more projects in the pipeline. I am of Iranian descent myself so Iran is particularly attractive to me.

Regards
Sarah

Really beautiful work. It is wonderful to come across this article less than a week after I saw an amazing presentation on the restoration of the Loess Plateau in Mongolia, and other de-desertification attempts in China. Amazing work that is so inspiring! The presentation was put on by John Liu of the Environmental Education Media Project. If you get a chance to view these video’s definitely do. There is footage of areas that were worked on 10 am 20 years ago, and how amazingly they have returned to health.

The deserts spreading is scary business. It is inspiring to see Iran, China and Mongolia taking such great steps to try to fix it.

Geoff totally wonderful… Last year I drove from the Uk to India painting murals all the way , for me one of the memorable the Highlights were the people of Iran… what a truly special space that is… it was -30c in the north and +30c in the south when we where there and so many people helped us and where pleased to see two English lads making an effort to say hello….

These projects are incredible and your work hopefully will spread far and wide. and having looked at large expensive alternatives this is a fabulous way to really get the impossible achieved!!

As usual Geoff and his projects. Whew, bigger than life. How is this planet ever going to stay in a destructive mode with people like him running around fixing everything. Hmmmph!

I agree. I am so tired of hearing the negatives about Iran. I truly believe this misinformation is being propagated because Iran is truly trying to remain an independent and responsible country. I applaud the efforts to go more green. I am working hard to refer others in the United States to look at Permaculture and do the same here.
