"At one of the project sites, a severely deforested slope near a busy food distribution center posed a significant risk of landslides. We proposed a nature-based intervention that integrated reforestation through community-led rewilding, aimed at stabilizing the land and restoring the area’s biodiversity. In the implementation workshops, refugee participants assisted the restoration of vulnerable parts of the landscape in support of wider ecological regeneration. This habitat repair strategy was designed as a collaborative effort engaging both places and people, not only as a method of repairing damaged sites, but as a means of reconnecting displaced populations to the natural world. The rewilding efforts were envisioned as part of a broader ecological strategy to create corridors of connection across the camps and the surrounding landscape."
