Restoring Dunes with Tunes

Lamu Island, Kenya
We create regenerative art which funds reforestation.

For our first project, our community gathered to plant trees, sing, dance, celebrate, and learn with Al Noor band in the exposed sand dunes of Shela Beach. The event inspired beautiful Taarab music, and we now offer this to you as an NFT.

This limited edition NFT includes: a full, studio recording of this special, one-of-a-kind song, a custom video of the event which inspired it and where it was first performed, and a unique piece of visual art created by @Artoftas.

The funds raised all go towards planting trees in those same dunes, which we do in close collaboration with the local communities and government.

The NFT costs between $15 and $20 depending on the price of ETH. You can also buy it with M-Pesa.
Our Objective
We seek to marry NFTs to regeneration, conservation, and climate change resilience.

We seek to weave many worlds together in order to heal ourselves by healing our Earth.

Why This Matters

Lamu is vulnerable to climate change. There is little tree cover and the topsoil is very exposed to the elements. The water resources in the underground aquifers are also dwindling. Growing trees can increase local rainfall, and improve catchment and retention of precious water. Trees also decrease air and surface temperatures, which are all vital for the survival of the island's inhabitants.
