Our mission

The Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) Hub is a large-scale international initiative aimed at accelerating forest and landscape restoration efforts across key regions in Africa and Latin America. Funded by BMUV through the International Climate Initiative (IKI) and implemented in partnership with WRI and WWF, the FLR Hub serves as a critical platform for advancing global restoration goals while addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and enhancing the livelihoods of local communities.

Impact

The FLR Hub's overarching objective is to strengthen the enabling environments and the capacity of stakeholders to accelerate and scale up FLR implementation. The FLR Hub aims to restore 200,000 ha of degraded land, leverage EUR 20 million in funds, contribute to the sequestration of 500,000 tonnes of CO2e, and improve the biodiversity and livelihoods of local communities in Brazil, Colombia, Madagascar, Peru, Tanzania, and Uganda.

The FLR Hub is achieving its objective by strengthening enabling environments, monitoring restoration progress, and developing project pipelines and additional financing. The initiative is engaging a wide range of actors involved in FLR, including national, regional, and local government institutions, government agencies, investors, funders, project developers, private sector organisations, small- and large-scale landowners, local and Indigenous communities and forestry organizations, civil society organisations, NGOs, subsistence farmers, women's networks, producers and relevant cooperatives and associations. The FLR Hub is providing technical support to ensure restoration efforts are integrated and inclusive across target groups. Although currently operational in six countries, the FLR Hub has ambitions to scale its operations to additional countries and regions.
