WRI Restoration

#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. #GhanaToday

Learning looks different in the field 🌱 Visiting nurseries @TropenbosGhana where communities are showing us why peer‑to‑peer learning works — learning directly from lived experience, linking restoration to livelihoods & building solutions that last. #RestoreLocal

🌱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.

🌱In Rwanda, @CIFOR_ICRAF planted 443,551 trees and created 1,743 jobs. @WorldResources’ MRV framework independently detected 281,149 new trees via satellite. Restoration works when it is measured. #RestoreLocal Learn more: go.wri.org/rwanda-mrv-wri

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. More👉🏿 go.wri.org/terrafund-mrv
