Unpacking what high-quality, locally led restoration looks like in practice with my brilliant colleagues Yigremachew Seyoum Mercy Orengo Mercy Mulanga Sheila Okoth Helen (宏宇) Ding, PhD. Amanda Obuobi Amoako and Spencer Ng'oma. Our partners at BIOCOOR, Goshen Global Vision (GGV), YARDO, Wezesha Community-based Organization show us how. Had the chance to share a bit about this work and learn about other great examples last week at the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) conference. Look forward to building on these important concepts!
In the last decade, there have been numerous pledges to plant more trees, and yet, more people are skeptical. 💡 Planting trees is not enough. Without careful planning, the right species and community involvement, restoration efforts can fail- or even cause harm. With the #RestoreLocal initiative, we focus on tree-based restoration that is high-quality, locally led, and targeted, ensuring trees thrive and communities benefit. 🔗 Here’s how: https://bit.ly/3IW2Mpr #GenerationRestoration #EcologicalRestoration
