Native plants have been fortifying the picturesque cliffs of Matanzas in Chile for centuries. Today, community-driven initiatives are repopulating these indigenous shrubs. Volunteers from Qatar Museums’ Years of Culture programme are getting their hands dirty, guided by local landscaper Ignacia Echeverria. Meanwhile, another group of volunteers are beautifying the walls of the community center, by painting a mural, which features Qatari and Chilean motifs. Despite being thousands of kilometers apart, volunteer Soha Raslan was enlightened to find that the two countries have more similarities than differences.
