Water Cycle Restoration

The Weather Makers is an engineering company with a holistic vision. It aims to restore water cycles, achieve overall biosphere restoration and create a healthy planet. The world we know today is facing severely degrading ecosystems. Earth suffers from declining trends in productivity, and species are becoming extinct at an unprecedented rate. With the current climate change crisis trajectory, the livelihoods of millions of people are seriously threatened. Viewing water as the engine of all life on earth, restoring water cycles is the key to achieve overall biosphere restoration in order to create a healthy planet.

Buckminster Fuller Institute is partnering with The Weather Makers to create a new Foundation that will focus on building peaceful futures through large-scale ecological restoration.

The world we know today is facing severely degrading ecosystems. Earth suffers from declining trends in productivity, and species are becoming extinct at an unprecedented rate.

Viewing water as the engine of all life on earth, restoring water cycles is the key to achieve overall biosphere restoration in order to create a healthy planet.

The Foundation will work to ensure that people have secure, resilient, and prosperous futures by combining large-scale ecosystem restoration with security solutions. This approach is called Eco-security Management. The Foundation aims to create a successful business plan that combines security, large-scale ecosystem restoration, and water energy production. This plan is built on a strategy for long-term natural regeneration. 

The Foundation’s initial focus area is the Sinai Peninsula in northern Egypt. The Weather Makers company has done pioneering work on the potential of regreening the Sinai Peninsula: a greener and cooler Sinai can bring more moisture to the region, and can positively influence the larger weather systems that cause extreme weather around the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. Restoring the water cycle in this area will have a big impact on earth in rebalancing our climate, reverse diversification of the Mediterranean, provide water and food security to the local people and improve livelihood and prosperity of people.

This approach is not only applicable to the Sinai Peninsula. It can be used worldwide.
