Using the miracle shrub Spekboom to aid in a just energy transition for disadvantaged communities in South Africa

The goal of this project is to inform the optimal restoration of Spekboom thickets and thus secure the ecologically and socially viable benefits of Spekboom restoration for communities in South Africa over the long term. Specifically informing how to maximise carbon sequestration potential and how to overcome previous leadership barriers to successful schemes over time.
