Forest Landscape Restoration can bring back life to degraded (e.g.
forest fires) or clear-cut areas (e.g. deforestation, extractive activities).
When carefully planned, forest restoration activities can provide environmental
services to the local community and develop new habitats in formerly bare
areas. Restoration and reforestation activities also provide an excellent way
to involve local stakeholders, generate income, and allow communities to
connect with nature and become a vested part of a larger conservation program.
Connecting corridors, creating buffer zones, improving degraded lands,
restoring watersheds, and expanding forest cover are just a few ways that
forest landscape restoration can have real and lasting impact for conservation.
EFN, with generous funding from the UPS Foundation, has launched a special
grant opportunity focused on supporting communities in regaining ecological
integrity and enhancing human wellbeing in deforested or degraded forest
landscapes.
