Of the many unfinished projects left behind, this is one that Sahara Sahel Foods wishes to complete. Arne Victor Garvi's dream was also to make an eco-parc with the trees that remained after the germination tests. The eco-parc is something that we are interested to expand to a major part of the property.

The below photos show the direct seeding zone in 2016, when the property had been bought, and now, in November 2025.

Arne Victor Garvi was a visionary and an innovator with a large number of ideas and projects. He was very busy with was his research in the direct seeding method for propagating plants. In dry environments, the nursery plants used to regreen areas had a very low survival rate due to limited root development. So Arne Victor pioneered his own methodology, by doing research on germination, collecting seeds and teaching people good sowing methods.

From dry to green in just two years 💚

How? Our partners Green Ethiopia used Zaï pits, small holes filled with compost that capture rain and restore soil fertility.

Now, trees are growing again.

Keep searching and planting with Ecosia 🌳

This is what 5 years of reforestation looks like ✨

Once cleared for a palm oil monoculture, this forest is now lush and diverse again.

Together with Leuser Conservation Forum, we’re restoring the Leuser ecosystem in Indonesia — supporting natural regeneration and planting native trees with local communities.

5 years of progress, powered by the Ecosia community 💚

What a great idea!
Seeing greenery and flowers instead of grey, lifeless concrete would be so beneficial for everyone.
Gotta love the Dutch! 👏👍

Reversing vegetation loss can be winning strategy for water conservation, #biodiversity, prosperity, climate change resilience. Hopefully we can learn from problems & mistakes of this project. #regreening https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/mar/14/how-china-led-way-water-soil-conservation
