March 11-15, Zambia

A brief review by Michael Pilarski

The Global EverGreening Alliance and the Government of Zambia together with AFR100 is hosting the world’s largest land restoration programming conference, bringing together NGOs, governments, the private sector, technical and scientific experts, and community representatives. It will be the inaugural conference for the Global EverGreening Alliance. We’re pleased to mention yet again that we are a part of this global alliance.

I have high hopes for good things to come out of this conference.  I am impressed by the people and the work of the Global EverGreening Alliance (GEA). I am a member of the GEA Council of Fellows and have deep respect for the people I have met there.  While there are millions of people working for earth repair, it will be a select group that gather for this event, most of them African and from around the world.  I cannot attend this conference, but will report to Global Earth Repair readers what happens afterwards.  Also you can stay tuned to the GEA website.
