ABOUT TRI

Land degradation is one of the defining challenges of our time. Global estimates suggest that nearly 2 billion ha of agricultural land, pasture, forest, and woodland are degraded. Restoration of deforested and degraded lands is essential to addressing global challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss, and the need for healthy sustainable food systems and a thriving economy.

TRI is designed to address key and common barriers to expanding and scaling-up restoration. The programmatic approach leverages each partner agency’s strengths and ongoing work on forest landscape restoration (FLR) while providing extensive opportunities for South-South knowledge capture and sharing.
