The story around this unique project in sustainable development is a beautiful one: Once upon a time, a young South African invented a computer software that made him a billionaire. After his hard work he took a trip in a space station which seems to be a trendy habit within young successful entrepreneurs. Up there, face pressed to the window, he told himself that before worrying about outer space, it would be nice to preserve our small blue planet which from up there looked really fragile. Halfway between his hometown and his host country England, he found a little piece of the planet with all the prerequisites for his experiment to try sustainable development as a way of growth. The project would concern all economic and social aspects of the island: agriculture (permaculture aiming at self-sufficiency), tourism (controlled and beneficial), education (train future staff for the project), craftsmanship (jobs sources), waste management (value trash and transform it on the spot) etc… To do so, he needed a land rich in wildlife, a territory at peace politically and socially and also needed to act wisely with leaders to not trigger any devastating workings of corruption.
