Our mission
This initiative aims to overcome barriers to large-scale restoration, sharing know-how on improving awareness, monitoring, supporting businesses, and drawing investments.
To date, over 420,000 people have directly benefited from the programme, while mitigating over 30 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent – equivalent to emissions from eight coal-fired power plants in one year.
The Restoration Initiative is designed to translate global restoration goals to local contexts – for example by boosting local restoration economies, such as nurseries, training smallholder farmers and pastoralists, removing invasive species and informing government policies.
