Tony Rinaudo, member of the Order of Australia and recipient of the Right Livelihood Award, also known as the “Alternative Nobel Prize”, has pioneered a work which has seen millions of hectares of African desert reforested. The results are so significant that it can be seen from space.

Growing up in country Victoria, Tony has always loved the natural world, and might well have ended up as a farmer if God had not directed him to Niger, mission, and into a work which has transformed the face of a continent.
