In the last 25 years, almost 50 million hectares of primary forest have been lost due to deforestation. Numerous international initiatives such as the Bonn Challenge and the New York Declaration on Forests have set ambitious goals to restore degraded and deforested lands by 2030. Realizing global commitments on forest and landscape restoration (FLR) will require the establishment of billions of trees on millions of hectares of degraded land to address the triple crisis of biodiversity loss, climate change and failing food systems. A significant amount of FLR will require tree planting or increasing tree cover in production landscapes.

Learn more about the Large-scale forest landscape restoration in Africa project: tree-rich landscapes to foster biodiversity, climate change resilience, and better livelihoods, which is being implemented in Malawi from 2021 to 2024 with support from the Government of Germany through GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH). This initiative is part of a larger programme also funded in Cameroon, Kenya, and Rwanda simultaneously. It was designed in support of the Government of the Republic of Malawi’s ambitious target of 4.5 million hectares for restoration under the Bonn Challenge and the AFR100 initiative, and in support of Malawi’s National Forest Landscape Restoration Strategy and National Charcoal Strategy (2017).
