Across southern Kenya in Amboseli, Earth Bunds are helping to regreen the land, one Smile at a time. These half-moon structures are designed to capture rainwater and retain soil nutrients. Once the rains arrive, local communities, with support from partners like WWF-Kenya, plant grass to bring life back to degraded rangelands. As the land recovers, wildlife returns in droves. | WWF-Kenya

Digging bunds in Rombo, Kenya - together with Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust! The technical team drew out the #earthsmiles and filled the gullies with gathered materials like dead trees and stones. After that, everyone pitched in to dig the bunds. #teamwork 💚 Making dry land fertile and green again positively impacts water and food security, biodiversity, livelihoods and - eventually, on a large scale- our climate. 🌱 #generationrestoration #naturebasedsolutions #climatechange #climateact

Some call them half-moon bunds, while others have nicknamed them Earth Smiles. On this Earth Hour, we shine the light on the remarkable women-led landscape restoration action in Kenya’s Amboseli, Kajiado County. Their work is a true #SmiletoEarth. #EarthHour2024 | WWF-Kenya

Soil bunds are an incredible and effective tool for conserving both soil and water! With the support of Welthungerhilfe, we constructed soil bunds in Mureec village in Odweyne. The purpose of these soil bunds is to slow water flow, helping to prevent soil erosion while promoting water retention and infiltration. #SoilWaterConservation #SoilBunds | Candlelight For Environment Education and Health

Introducing... 🥁 Stone lines! These borders help prevent soil erosion by slowing down rainwater. 💧 They’re often used in areas with lots of stones—and they do more than just protect the soil! By trapping organic material and seeds behind them, stone lines give new plants the time and space to sprout. 🌱 Hello, #regreening! 📍 Embirika Valley, South Rift, #Kenya 🇰🇪 🤝 In collaboration with @soralo_org 👉 Want to contribute to our mission and make a tangible impact?

These bunds or 'earth smiles' are dug in our project area in Pembamoto, Tanzania. They capture rainwater that will otherwise get washed away over the dry, barren soil. Vegetation naturally reappears due to the increase in soil moisture. By digging bunds, we can regreen large areas in a very short amount of time. This benefits biodiversity, nature, people, and – eventually our climate! 🌱 🙌 LEAD Foundation | Justdiggit
