Restore Africa Fund

The degradation of natural capital, globally but also in Africa and then specifically South and southern Africa, has become an issue of major concern.  It is impacting negatively on water and food security and affecting biodiversity and sustainable development in general.  The detrimental impacts of the degradation on the well-being of people and the cost of living is intensified through changes in climate and the deepening social fragmentation and disillusionment; the entire society is increasingly more vulnerable and exposed to food and water security-related risks.  These impacts are detrimentally affecting the lives of millions of people in countries like South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, etc.  Much can be done though.  The restoration of natural capital, most notably the soils, can mitigate these impacts and help societies to adapt to the challenges we are facing, also refer to www.restory.co.za
