Restoring Degraded African Landscapes (ReDEAL)

A return to last week's ceremonies, when we celebrated the achievements of postgraduates from the classes of 2020 and 2021 👏🎓 #Gradcaster

Lands are becoming degraded globally but it is a particularly urgent problem in Sub-Saharan Africa. 🌍 Whilst most of us are aware of this, we all have different ideas about what constitutes degradation. What does land degradation mean to you? 🤔⁉️ Comment away👇#Africa #soil

Farmers know their land best and have seen it change over time. Farmers are an integral part of Project ReDEAL and without them our research would likely be unsuccessful. Find out their insights on how we can restore degraded African grasslands 👉bit.ly/3sGyzjZ #farmers

🤔Curious about what we've been up to? Interested to know what farmers think about grassland degradation? We think this article written by @CIFOR @ICRAF will help satisfy your curiosities.... 🤞bit.ly/3sGyzjZ #soils #Africa #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis

Meet the farmers and scientists collaborating to restore Kenya’s degraded grasslands forestsnews.cifor.org/75683/meet-the… #soil #grasslands #livestock #ThinkLandscape

🎇We're excited for the new year because we've got some interesting events in the pipeline. Check out our news and blogs on our webpage for info on what we've got planned for 2022 👉bit.ly/3EgD2f2 🎄#Africa #soil #ClimateEmergency

📣We've got an exciting opportunity for you: a training course on all things grassland restoration. 🌱 👨‍💼Content includes soil infiltration measurements, using an Infrared Gas Analyser and much more! 🧑‍🌾 #soil #Africa #ClimateActionNow Check it out 👉 bit.ly/3FlUOis

📢Our partner institution, @kabiangavarsity is holding an in-person training course on "Restoration of Degraded Lands for Climate Resilience". #soils #Grass #Africa 📅17th - 20th January 2022 🗺️University of Kabianga, Kenya (main campus, Kericho) 💻deansnrem@kabianga.ac.ke 👇

One of the ReDEAL Team, @deBrittoCosta_P, has been busy presenting at the @BritishEcolSoc Ecology Across Borders Conference 21👉 bit.ly/3oQPr55. She's been providing insights into how we can use plant traits 🌿 to restore degraded grasslands. #plants #Kenya #SoilHealth

@KevinMganga @ESRC @LancsUniLEC Yes, definitely! These opinions need to be heard :) and they help us shape everything in this project.

@RestoreGrazing @ESRC @LancsUniLEC #GrassMatters 🌾...interesting stories and perspectives from the farmers.

We're so excited to be releasing a film 📽️ on our project work. This is the film we showcased in an event as part of the @ESRC #Festivalofsocialscience. Take a look on @LancsUniLEC's Youtube Channel to see what we've been up to 👉 bit.ly/3xK2BDz #soils #Africa
