From the dry-stone mandras of to the ancestral orchards of , this episode weaves two stories of rootedness and return — guided by those who refuse to abandon the land that raised them.
🐄 On the island of Lemnos, Mediterranean Institute for Nature and Anthropos works alongside Athina Kavaleri and other local farmers to revive traditional agro-pastoral systems. Their efforts breathe new life into the mandra, an ancient farm structure that once nourished entire communities — now at risk of fading into silence.
🏡 In the hills of Hammana, Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon supports a young family’s return to their ancestral home, where they seek to transform displacement into renewal. Through eco-tourism, cultural revival and everyday care, they forge a new way forward — one that honours the past without being bound by it.
This is not just a story of survival. It’s a story of regeneration.
Of tending to place. Of choosing to stay.
