Imagine,
The Sahara
a grassland again…
Over 6,000 years ago, the desert of North Africa was the most verdant savanna and grassland in the world, facilitating the regreening of 1/3 of the surface of the earth. Today, we see human behaviour accelerating desertification across the world.
As the source of the 6th extinction that is now upon us, humanity has the opportunity to become a regenerative force within nature to create a new chapter for life on the planet, fueled by the atmospheric carbon reservoir we have mined from living soil and ancient oil reserves, capable of activating the largest explosion of life and biodiversity of all time.
There are millions of organisations around the world working towards social and ecological justice, yet the crisis grows worse. Our Guiding Star is to serve as the connective tissue between these organisations within the global organism for human transformation towards a shared living vision of collective action.
By regenerating decimated natural systems, rewilding impaired bioregions and reconnecting human cultures with nature, humanity can come into harmony with this natural cycle of regreening for a future of planetary thriving, and accelerate the biodiversification of earth, beginning with Africa, the birth canal of life on our planet.

Biome Constellation
Connecting to Re-member
The Biome Constellation is a platform for radical collaboration between practitioners working in social and ecological rewilding, regenerating and reconnecting. It provides a space through which members can contribute their skills, knowledge and resources to catalyse transformative change. The Constellation comprises changemakers who ascribe to Project Biome’s vision and values, and who want to engage in collaborative and collective action.
Biome Solutioning Centre
Designing for Nature
The Biome Solutioning Centre is a virtual innovative hub that coordinates the collaborative contribution of skills, resources, and stakeholders to catalyse socioecological restoration. Projects are weaved together with the Biome Constellation and Biome Fellows, then activated through the expertise housed within the Biome Solution Centre in fields such as ecological design, enterprise development, fundraising, research & development, green technology, solution architecture, biomimicry, project management, and monitoring and evaluation. We carefully scope and validate contributing stakeholders and on-the-ground projects to ensure that the support provided contributes to our mission to regenerate, rewild, and reconnect through living systems thinking.
10 Trees is a pilot program active in partnership with Zingela Ulwazi Trust
Ratanang Colab is A Cross-Sectoral, International, Grassroots Collaboration between 5 partners
Biome Fellows
Holding Space for Future Leaders
The Biome Fellowship programme harnesses and elevates youth voices on issues of rewilding, regenerating and reconnecting social and ecological systems. It does this through a curated learning and expression journey comprising facilitation of novel curricula, internships, sister city campaigns and co-designed experiences and events. Learning curricula encompasses topics such as leadership development, radical collaboration, project management, rewilding and agroecology, communication and facilitation skills, among others.
