Forest and landscape restoration

30/09/2023

The course series "Forest and landscape restoration" introduces the concept of forest and landscape restoration through various subjects including monitoring, forest-based businesses and sourcing of genetic material for restoration.

The series consists of the following courses:

Introduction to forest and landscape restoration

This course introduces the key concepts and process of forest and landscape restoration.

Sustainable financing of Forest and Landscape Restoration

This course has been developed to improve the awareness and capacities of practitioners and policy makers to analyse FLR financial needs and opportunities, so that they are more effective at securing and coordinating funding for FLR interventions.

 

Monitoring forest and landscape restoration

 This course has been developed to equip practitioners with the capacity to design, plan and implement monitoring systems for FLR interventions. 

 

Developing bankable business plans for sustainable forest-based enterprises

This course has been developed to improve the capacity of small-scale producers, their organizations, and small and medium-sized enterprises to access investment and other forms of finance. Facilitating this allows these stakeholders to derive socioeconomic benefits from their participation in forest value chains, and also complements the resources of official channels in contributing to achievement of the SDGs.

 

Planning seed and seedling supply for forest and landscape restoration

This course explores how to plan seed and seedling supply for forest and landscape restoration (FLR). This includes the importance of considering seed and seedling origin and genetic quality, the reproductive and supply chain bottlenecks that reduce genetic diversity or adaptive capacity, and approaches, tools and institutional frameworks that can help ensure that quality seed and seedlings are available for diverse restoration objectives.
