About This Project

🧭 Introduction to the Metaproblem

Across Africa, fragmented ecosystems, extractive development models, and disjointed restoration efforts are undermining regional resilience. As climate crises deepen, the lack of cross-sector collaboration and long-term regeneration strategies has left communities and landscapes vulnerable to collapse.

🌍 Core Problem in the Bioregion

In Mpumalanga, South Africa, the degradation of biodiversity hotspots and vital ecosystems is accelerating. Despite a wealth of organizations committed to ecological healing, efforts remain siloed. The region faces a disconnect between knowledge holders, community stakeholders, and regenerative practitioners—stalling progress and eroding trust.

💡 Proposed Solution

The Regional Accelerator Co-Lab is a groundbreaking initiative that catalyzes radical collaboration among local organizations, stakeholders, and young leaders. Anchored in Project Biome’s Constellation Model, the Co-Lab:

  • Facilitates co-created work plans through consensus-driven dialogue
  • Aligns diverse actors around bioregional restoration, rewilding, and human-nature reconnection
  • Integrates youth via the Biome Fellowship, offering hands-on mentorship and training in regenerative systems

This ecosystem of trust-building and shared governance supports lasting transformation from the ground up.

🌱 What Makes it Unique

Unlike top-down interventions, the Co-Lab is community-rooted and designed for replication. Its Constellation Model is a flexible, strategic framework that can be adapted to any bioregion—honoring local ecological, cultural, and economic realities.

By blending intergenerational learning, collaborative design, and system-level thinking, the Co-Lab becomes a blueprint for place-based regeneration led by the people who live there.
