Restoring degraded land and managing natural resources sustainably is essential for the health of our planet and the well-being of communities. As the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030) gains momentum, this resource explores how trees can play a central role in bringing landscapes back to life.
Organized around three key areas—ecological and genetic variation, restoration of species and lands, and species management in production systems—it provides practical insights into choosing the right tree species, practices, and management approaches to maximize impact.
You’ll find guidance on how to match restoration methods—such as direct seeding and Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR)—to the unique needs of your site, informed by tools like the Land Degradation Surveillance Framework (LDSF), which helps assess the severity of land degradation.
Whether you are a project planner, restoration practitioner, or community leader, this resource will help you make informed, context-specific decisions to ensure your restoration efforts are both effective and sustainable.
