#GenerationRestoration

[Dr Susan Chomba @suechomba]

The restoration movement continues to grow and inspire thousands of entrepreneurs and community based organizations across Africa @WRIafrica @RegreenAfrica @ntvkenya @Restor_eco @Science4forests

[Andy Marshall @Andy_R_Marshall]

Looking for a postdoc to help us to make some significant advances in understanding forest recovery and restoration. Working with @usceduau, @ForestPlots, @GFB_Initiative and many other collaborators from across the world. Reasonable potential for ongoing employment too.

Secondary forests are the key to restoring carbon sinks!

[Viola Heinrich @vh_trees]

Excited to share my first, first-author paper published today in @NatureComms exploring the spatial patterns of Secondary Forest regrowth in the #Amazon. Check it out at:
