That Gino Mäder touched many hearts and minds all over the world with his actions, became apparent to us over the last few days. We received over 700 donations that were done out of his name from fans honouring his legacy.

- Replying to @justdiggitWe're deeply moved by the immense support our organisation received from the cycling community following the tragic passing of @maedergino. To honour him, we'll regreen a dedicated area at a later-to-be-announced location with your heartfelt donations. justdiggit.org/news/a-dedicat…
- We are shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Gino Mäder. @maedergino wasn’t just an extraordinary athlete but also a deeply caring human being who was concerned with the state of the planet.
- Replying to @justdiggitWe would like to express our deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and the cycling community at large, by whom Gino Mäder was beloved for his talent and loving personality.
- Effects of regreening with #bunds we dug with @leadtz🌳 Did you also spot the five #treecovery trees? Look how huge they’ve grown!🌍 And watch how the erosion scars slowly close up and almost disappear. The resilience of Mother Nature is amazing. All she needs is a little push.
00:00 - With @leadtz and local communities we restore and #regreen degraded landscapes by digging #earthsmiles, and the results have blown us away - from dry, dusty desert to green, expanding savannah. Can you imagine the effect these bunds can have over the next four?
- In 2018, together with @leadtz and local farmers, we started restoring trees in Tanzania by applying #KisikiHai. In 2021, the land already shows significant changes with 3000+ restored trees. This is only a small piece of the 6.3 million trees that we have restored together! 🌳
- We are on a mission to regreen Africa, and we have one decade to do it. Digging water bunds is a nature-based solution we apply to regreen degraded areas. In 2018, we dug over 5,000 bunds together with @leadtz in Tanzania. See the result after three years of capturing rainwater!
- The current shocking #heatrecords in Europe remind us that we have no time to lose. This is what can be achieved within just 3 years. Both photos were taken in the same period during the dry season in Pembamoto, Tanzania! 💚 @leadtz #coolingdowntheplanet
00:00- #bunds + 🌧️ = 🌱🌱🌱 Look at these #earthsmiles we dug in 2018 together with @leadtz and local farmers, a great result of what can be achieved if we dig in together 💚
- These #earthsmiles in Meserani, Tanzania are just 3 months old! Dug in December 2021 in a joint project with @leadtz, picture captured last month. The rainwater is sequestered in the semi-circular pits, thereby replenishing the aquifer and regreening the surroundings. 🌱
- #bunds Same spot, same season, different year. Nothing shows the effectiveness of nature-based solutions better than going back to the same spot a year later and being surrounded by green. 🌱 @MaasaiWild
- Regreening with #treecovery in just tree, eh three years. The first picture was taken during the rainy season (hence the green grass in between!), and the second was during the early dry season. All these trees are now 4 meters or even higher! With @leadtz 🌳
