#LandRestoration is not just about trees- it’s about people.

Through #PeerToPeerLearning, under #RestoreLocal, champions across Africa are exchanging knowledge, listening to communities, & linking restoration to livelihoods that sustain both land and lives.

When communities lead, forests recover. Restoration is justice, resilience, & smart investment in our shared future. The real power to heal our land lies with the people who live with them, care for them, & defend them every day. #RestoreLocal #ClimateAction #CommunityLeadership

🌱High-quality land restoration doesn’t come from manuals alone.

It grows through experience, mentoring, and shared problem-solving in the field. That’s why #RestoreLocal is supporting a peer-to-peer learning exchange in the Lake Kivu & Rusizi landscape.

[World Resources Institute @WorldResources]

🌱In Rwanda, @CIFOR_ICRAF planted 443,551 trees and created 1,743 jobs.

Communities are restoring land worldwide, but without accurate data, even the best work goes unrecognized.

A new guidebook from @WorldResources makes monitoring 98% more cost-efficient. Verified data is what closes $278B restoration finance gap.
