Zongo Macheri Syntropic Agroforestry
A long-term effort to restore land through diverse tree systems, farmer learning and patient work with fire, soil, water and succession.
Why this work matters
Degraded landscapes cannot be restored through tree counts alone. The work at Zongo Macheri explores how productive agroforestry systems can rebuild ecological function while remaining useful to communities.

Project context
Zongo Macheri is separate from the Dream Village campus in Dambai.
Historical project records describe a large agroforestry pilot and a separate infrastructure area.
The work has developed across different planting seasons and partnership phases.
Evidence boundary
What readers should know.
Dream Village separates verified activity from proposals, earlier records and figures still being consolidated.
- Historic acreage and tree totals require period-by-period verification before republication.
- Land access, ownership and community allocation must always be described precisely.
- Current field activity should be confirmed directly before arranging a visit.
