We are called Samburu.
Our staple food is blood, milk and meat.
So our livestock
means everything to us as a tribe.
That is our livelihood.
The livestock relies on grass,
so when the grassland is doing very well,
then the ecosystem is supportive to wildlife
and also to the community.
So elephants are really, really special
in the Samburu culture.
This is an acacia tree that has been
pulled and pushed down by an elephant.
They have reduced the speed of water
running off the surface of the soil.
It helps to catch the grass seeds.
As a result of that elephant
pushing down this tree,
life bounces back
and everything regenerates.
Elephant dung, as it is here,
is life in itself.
The people,
their livestock,
and the wildlife
lived alongside each other
for many, many years.
And then,
poaching.
We are doomed.
Unless...
we start to protect
and regenerate our land.
And the only way that this can happen is
if we can bring back the elephants.
So we rescue and rehabilitate the elephant.
As a result of conservation work
that we are doing,
the elephant numbers have really, really bounced back.
I do see a very, very positive impact on the land
with the number of elephants now increasing.
Look at this grass.
This is actually very, very exciting for us as a tribe.
You know, we haven't seen this for
quite a very, very long time.
We see that there is hope
and we see that we are going to regenerate our land
back into grasslands.
The reason I left South Sudan is because of the war.
That is the main reason why I came here,
because of death and gunshots.
What happened in my village in war,
people were being shot and killed.
When the refugees come to Uganda,
you are supposed to depend on food
that is distributed to you.
If it is not there, you have to go hungry.
The open part,
it is facing up the slope.
So, as part of our designing,
we incorporated the pond into
the farm to help us capture
the excess water.
We ensure that we direct the running
water where we need it.
I started learning,
how can I build on the soil?
We have all the materials within our means.
Behind me here is a food forest.
We have over
20-plus different kind of
plant species.
They're doing very okay together.
My life has changed because
I don't go asking neighbors for food.
But the neighbors come ask me for food
and also provide me with money.
I have mango, avocado, guava,
lemons, arrow roots, and many more.
I am very happy,
very happy.
In all these years that I have lived here,
I've never seen rains like this.
We are in Jaisalmer,
which most of the world writes off as a desert.
It is one of the most arid parts of the country.
It rains less than 15 centimeters annually.
Right now, we are in a place called Dhun.
It's a man-made eco-reserve,
which we have been working on rewilding
for last ten years.
We have designed the entire structure of this place,
keeping in mind a once-in-30-year rain event.
I think that this is it.
When you have events like this,
you can capture this entire precipitation and utilize it
in periods when you don't have water.
We have created about 60 ponds in the nearby region.
What was here before was a semiarid
piece of land, completely deserted.
And what you see now is a verdant oasis.
And then here you can see this was dust,
and now it is two-meter-tall grass.
When you plant grasses, when you plant trees,
it acts as a big sponge.
Because of the porosity of soil, it just permeates.
Grasses are important for climate because
each one of these straw is a carbon pump
sequestering carbon in the ground.
Without all the cattle here,
there was no way that we could have regenerated this land.
So, animals, land with water,
that virtuous cycle really starts life
in even the most arid places.
This is what can happen in just ten years,
if you just allow the land to heal itself.
It's a miracle.
Coffee here in Colombia
is the economic base for many families.
We say in Colombia, coffee
does not create wealth
but stops poverty.
Coffee is very intensive labor.
It's not automatic.
You plant it.
You harvest it.
You remove the skin.
Ferment it.
You wash it.
Dry it.
Pack it.
Roast it.
Grind it.
Prepare it.
At the end, you have
the perfect cup of coffee.
When they started
cutting the trees
to plant more coffee,
there was a big loss of habitat.
I have 11,200 coffee trees.
So we are working with some good practices
of regenerative agriculture.
The banana trees make shade for the soil.
All of these leaves
decompose and produce organic material.
We are making the most of the organic material.
Look at the quality of the soil
that you can create.
Clean soil,
because it doesn't contain agrochemicals of any kind.
This is what makes the quality of the coffee
recognized worldwide.
If you, as a coffee drinker,
choose a brand that is working on regenerative agriculture,
you will achieve
something that is beyond
the product itself,
for the planet,
for yourself,
and for the people trying to
do things differently.
The Amazon is connected with the other biomes.
We are connected to this planet.
Who can live without water?
Who can live without air?
Show me anything here that does not come from nature.
That's why we indigenous women speak a lot about
reforesting the heart and mind.
Because today this is necessary for the people to understand
the moment which we are living.
If we continue with the same
model of development,
we will increase the
vulnerability of Brazil.
That's why we will put in place
a new way of making our agriculture viable.
All of this restoration secures and preserves our nature.
This is our inspiration.
We also have traditional technology
to protect our territory.
Thirteen years ago,
this looked the same as this.
Today you can see that we have
a lot of organic material.
We have a lot
of native vegetation.
Today there are lots of animals.
There are capybaras.
People don't believe that this is possible.
It is possible and it is lucrative to do this.
People say we're never going to be able
to feed the world with a food forest.
And I ask all the time, why?
The original soil from the farm, very sandy.
Completely different color.
This is all sand. This is all organic material.
Probably three times more carbon here
than original soil.
That's nature magic!
My work is to create abundant systems
through agroforestry.
This is the abundance we procure and create.
On the farm, we have
banana, mango, avocado, cupuaçu, cacao, açaí.
A lot of species.
Today I counted 156 species.
It's a forest!
Time is running out.
Let's stand up and let's make it happen.
I always say hope is not a plan.
So to protect and regenerate our land,
the Samburu people
have got a plan.
It is all about tuning
our mind to regeneration.
If you regenerate soil, you're also
regenerating your own life.
Regeneration is not about just
safeguarding what we have.
It's about elevating humanity.
