About Alma Viridis
We are a non-profit organization that aims to restore degraded land and improve the lives of people and nature.
We believe that land restoration is not only an environmental challenge, but also a social and economic opportunity. We work with local communities, governments, and partners to implement low-cost and effective solutions, such as the bund methodology, that can enhance food security, mitigate climate change, conserve biodiversity, and create livelihoods.
We fight to transform the arids into green lands.
The 4 Step Bund Methodology
We deploy this method, which is a low-tech technique that involves digging or building small earthen structures called bunds to capture and retain rainwater on degraded land.
step 1: Site Selection
Identify the degraded land that needs restoration and assess its biophysical and socio-economic conditions.
Step 2: Bund design and construction
Choose the appropriate shape, size, spacing, and orientation of the bunds according to the site characteristics and restoration objectives.
Step 3: Vegetation management and enhancement
Allow natural regeneration of plants within and around the bunds by reducing grazing pressure and fire disturbance.
Step 4: Monitoring and evaluation
Measure and record the changes in land conditions and ecosystem services after implementing the bunds.
our goal is terraform the arids of north america
