Executive Team

Carl Mallinson - Chairman

Carl is a businessman, entrepreneur and philanthropist with extensive industries in Africa and Europe. Carl has forged links with the highest levels of local and national government in East Africa with a main focus on Zambia where he spends most of his time.



As well as conducting successful agricultural projects, Carl is extremely environmentally conscious and is at the forefront of campaigning to rebuild Southern African forests and create more liveable communities in the process through development of facilities to benefit the local population.



Carl says "Trees are the lungs of the world, if the current rate of decimation is sustained, we will no longer have an inhabitable planet. We need to act now. The population of the world needs to act to stop this global vandalism. We need to plant and develop massive new protected forests. If we incentivise the world to act we can prevent the looming crisis."



Carl know that through proper agricultural management of woodland and by providing benefits to the indigenous population, great strides can be achieved in the development of new protected arboreal areas that can provide the key to combat climate change and global warming.
