About
Forest restoration is receiving unprecedented global attention. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030) aims to “massively scale up restoration efforts of degraded and destroyed ecosystems as a proven measure to fight the climate crisis and enhance food security, water supply and biodiversity” (1). Given the critical role that conserving and restoring forests plays in climate change mitigation and adaptation, major tree-planting and forest restoration commitments have launched in the past few years. Support and publicity for tree planting efforts is increasing from public, private and corporate sectors.
