Nature has always been a huge passion of mine.

Seeing how landscapes can change, how life can return to dry and damaged land — it truly inspires me. When I first came across the half-moon planting method and saw the impact it can have on soil, water retention, and vegetation, it deeply resonated with me.

It showed me that even simple, well-designed solutions can restore life where it seems almost impossible.

And I want to be part of that.

In many parts of the world, planting trees is not enough.

In dry and degraded landscapes, most young trees don’t survive. The soil is too hard, rainwater runs off too quickly, and there is simply not enough moisture for roots to establish.

This project is about doing it differently.

Instead of just planting trees, we want to create half-moon shaped water catchments (also called “demi-lunes”) around them. These small earth structures collect rainwater, slow down runoff, and allow moisture to soak into the soil exactly where the tree needs it.

This method has already shown real impact:

improving water retention

reducing soil erosion

increasing survival rates of plants

helping degraded land recover

Our goal is to launch a pilot project in a dry or degrading area and prove that this approach works — and can be scaled.

I want to take action, contribute, and give something back to the Earth.
