Last year, the world’s biggest forest landscape restoration (FLR) initiative reached the massive achievement of 210Ìýmillion hectares of degraded and deforested landscapes pledged to restoration through the Bonn Challenge (read all about it ). The success of the Bonn Challenge is feeding into an extraordinary global movement to restore degraded ecosystems underÌýthe auspices of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (see what Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ is doing ). It’s no coincidence that both the Bonn Challenge and the UN Decade target 2030 forÌýglobal restoration goals. Along with a drastic reduction in deforestation and destructive land use, restoration targets set for 2030 will help the world achieve the aspirations of the Paris Climate Agreement, the Post-2020 Biodiversity Framework,Ìýand the SDGs through the land sector.Ìý

Underpinning the Bonn Challenge is the forest landscape restoration (FLR) approach, which is the first purpose-built Nature-based Solution developed by Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ and implemented globally. FLR is more than just planting trees, it involves a mix of interventions ranging from natural regeneration, agroforestry, silviculture and planned planting. It’s a process that seeks to regain, improve and maintain a degraded or deforested landscape’s vital ecological and social functions in the long-term, and build its resilience to environmentalÌýand societal changes (learn more on FLR ).Ìý

So take a few moments on this to join us in celebrating some of the successes and aspirations of the people behind the restoration of the world’s forest landscapes through the Bonn Challenge.
