Questions & Answers:
Building with Nature is innovative and site specific and it operates in areas where the understanding of systems is limited and where changes are dynamic. In our pilot project in Indonesia, we have therefore adopted a strategy of learning-by-doing and we are sharing our knowledge and the lessons we learn widely to support the sound replication of our approach. In this document, we provide answers to the most regularly posted questions to us.
