Efforts are underway w @theGEF @UNDP to ensure they stay with us - national authorities, local communities, intl partners are coming together to play their part. It needs more.

Thx to the amazing forest rangers and community leaders we met today in the rainforests of Bukit Lawang, in North Sumatra, and the 🦧 they protect, for showing us how 🙏🏼

Building climate-resilient tea landscapes, one field officer at a time. 🪴🫖

The Biodiversity and Sustainable Land Management Project funded by the @theGEF and implemented by the #GOSL and the @UNDP #SriLanka recently brought together field and office executives of the Janatha Estate Development Board (JEDB) for an intensive 2-day training on #SustainableLandManagement using the Farmer Field School approach.

Through field demonstrations, #Agroforestry model visits, and expert-led sessions on #biodiversity conservation, soil management, climate-resilient tea cultivation, and #SocialInclusion, participants strengthened their knowledge and skills to drive more #SustainablePlantation practices.
