After years of preparation, I’ve acquired a 6-hectare site to begin testing a new approach to ecological development — one that accelerates the metabolism of ecosystems and speeds up their natural recovery.
Rather than simply planting trees, this method helps ecosystems rebuild themselves by enhancing the conditions for natural succession, biodiversity, and long-term resilience. The goal is not to decorate the land, but to bring it back to life — faster, and in harmony with nature.
Over the next 2–3 years, we’ll test a full spectrum of ecosystem restoration practices on this land: from water retention and soil microbiome regeneration to seed collection and native species propagation.
This is just the beginning.
If the model works, it could be scaled across Cyprus and beyond, helping to transform degraded lands into vibrant habitats again — at a fraction of the usual cost.
