WHAT WE DO

Approach and Services

Forestoration International works in the space between high-level institutions and the practitioners and communities or local agencies and organizations that actually implement restoration interventions on the ground.

Currently there is a large gap between the opportunity to implement FLR around the world and the capacity to plan, initiate, monitor and sustain FLR interventions. Although substantial funds are flowing into large international organizations and into countries to support the development of FLR programs and projects, action on the ground is lagging.

Restoration strategies are co-developed with relevant stakeholders to identify needs and develop a vision for the future landscape in different social and environmental contexts. Restoration strategies combine approaches based on natural regeneration, tree planting, and agroforestry.

For clients already engaged in tree planting or development work within particular landscapes, we evaluate the current status and explore ways to expand your portfolio of approaches and enhance impact.
