04 - Hipi Hopi at Melville 7th Street

Global Ecosystem Restoration Ambassador John D. Liu was recently in South Africa at the invitation of Greenpop, giving a series of talks aimed at making ecosystem restoration a priority in South Africa. 

He spoke on a panel at Greenpop's Eden Festival of Action, attended by hundreds of adults and children planting trees to reforest large areas devastated by last year's wildfires.   

In Cape Town, he spoke to large groups at the Vineyard Hotel in Newlands, Spier Wine Estate and Kirstenbosch.z

There was extensive local media coverage of his visit, but I was fortunate to meet him at a private dinner and recorded parts of the conversation. 

Here John starts talking about the importance of studying the development of China as a way to better plan for the future, and goes on to explain the concept of Ecosystem Restoration Camps.
