Penulis: Dominique Hes

Dominique started working, thinking and developing her approach to regenerative development in the early 2000s. Her Phd ended with the conclusion that is isn”t data, regulations, training, tools or technology that will enable a vital, thriving and viable future, it is developing the agency for people to care for their place. To create socio-ecological regeneration. Since then Dominique has been doing on the ground projects that build that agency, bringing in other tools such as biomimicry, placemaking, biophilia, systems thinking and transitions thinking. A couple project in which she has been involved are the Paddock and 28 home development iming to bring back 5 key stone species while creating a living building challenge level place for people to live; Greenfleet”s Yurol Ringtail project where using carbon offsetting investments they are working with the traditional custodians the Kabi Kabi to restore ecosystem and cultural capacity. Dominique is known in Europe and the Americas, has just retired from being an academic, written 7 books and continues to look for and work on projects that will support that shift to an agentic relationship with the environment.
