Living Lands: Who We Are | What We Do | Why It Matters

Land degradation is accelerating worldwide. Productive soils are lost, rivers dry up, and biodiversity declines. Rural farming economies suffer, and communities face growing risk from drought, flood, fire, and food insecurity. This is not only a conservation issue. It is a direct threat to people and nature. Living Lands is a South African non-profit based in the Eastern Cape. We live where we work and we stay for the long term. Together with farmers, communities, researchers, and partners, we restore agricultural landscapes so that people, nature, and local businesses all benefit. Our work is practical and partnership driven. We listen first, act collectively, and measure what matters using the 4 Returns: Natural, Social, Financial, and Inspiration. We focus on what works in one place, then share those lessons so others can scale them. What we do across our landscapes: • Restore degraded ecosystems through soil rehabilitation, erosion control, invasive species management, and planned fire management • Support regenerative production systems that improve livelihoods and ecological function • Rehydrate landscapes and protect key water catchments for domestic and agricultural use • Promote biodiversity conservation in globally significant biomes and hotspots • Strengthen rural economies by supporting sectors such as honeybush, eco-tourism, and sustainable land management enterprises Watch the film to see how understanding leads to action, how trust is built over time, and how landscape-based restoration delivers lasting results for people and nature. 👉 Explore our new website: https://www.livinglands.co.za/
