Al Baydha Project

The Al Baydha Project, in rural, western Saudi Arabia, is a land restoration, poverty-alleviation, and heritage preservation program, based on principles of permacultural and hydrological design. Located roughly 50 kilometers (20 miles) south of Mecca, in Makkah Province, Al Baydha is an area characterized by the rocky, arid, foothills of the Hijaz Mountains. Bedouin tribes are the major residents of this region. Founded in 2009, and led by permaculturist Neal Spackman and Co-Founder Mona Hamdy, Al Baydha has begun to see practical and ecological results (shown here).
