Restoring Nature, Empowering Communities
Our Vision
By empowering communities to restore their land and connecting them with green opportunities, we envision thriving communities flourishing in vibrant, diverse landscapes that coexist perfectly with nature.
Our Approach
We explore the depths of the issue by addressing the root causes of land degradation. In our focus areas, communities are trapped in a poverty and land degradation loop. Breaking this loop requires reconditioning minds and providing sustainable opportunities to improve welfare. If minds are reconditioned, people are empowered and have access to sustainable income sources, then restoration can be successful.
Our Mission
Harnessing the Landscape Approach to create sustainable green opportunities, empower communities, and restore the vitality of landscapes.
We are Guided by the Landscape Approach of CIFOR-ICRAF!
The landscape approach aims to reconcile competing objectives for allocating and managing land to achieve a ‘triple bottom line’ of sorts, including social, economic, and environmental success. It carries massive potential to help achieve this balance in areas where use of land – for agriculture, livestock, mining and other forms of production – competes with environmental and biodiversity goals.
