Bio: Lebanese architect Adib Dada, founder of theOtherDada had launched an initiative called Beirut RiverLESS. Beirut RiverLESS offers a set of replicable interventions to rehabilitate lost ecosystems and improve the living conditions and quality of life of people in the city who live along the river and to restore the area’s biodiversity. Its approach is based on biophilia and biomimicry, so reforestation is a fundamental part of the project. By breaking down the project into manageable parts, individuals can participate and tangible results are achieved in the short-term even without taking direct action on the river itself, bogged down by political debate.
