1. estatuas

Ibiti Projecto is a socio-environmental project focused on another way of inhabiting the planet, respectful and regenerative. Here, immersive and authentic hospitality serves a wider project: rewilding of 6,000 hectares, reintroduction of endangered species, sustainable production of organic food and the revival of a rural community. Premium eco-tourism experiences are transformative both to the travelers and to the place). Ibiti Projecto is a testimony that authentic place-based development can generate measurable social and environmental impact as well as financial returns.

Challenge

To establish IbiLand as the first Living Lab in a global regenerative hospitality movement – a demonstrator of how hospitality can be a catalyst for regeneration of ecosystems, culture and communities, as well as a driver for inclusive prosperity. The Lab will be a learning and prototyping space to co-create methods and replicate net-positive hospitality practices worldwide.

WB Rural Logistics: Decarbonizing Rural logistics in the Sahel

Commissioned by the World Bank, this one-year regional study aimed to assess the enabling environment for scaling rural logistics systems that are both climate-resilient and low-carbon. Regenopolis, in partnership with GRID Engineers and ES Partners, delivered a deep-dive analysis of rural transport infrastructure and accessibility across Senegal, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Chad, and Niger, with a focus on linking logistics planning to the growth of local agricultural value chains and inclusive development in fragile, climate-vulnerable areas.
