We support partners in more than 20 landscapes worldwide

Together, we restore their local landscapes using the 4 Returns approach. We offer direct support and expertise, tools, funding, and access to a global network of people and organisations working on holistic landscape restoration. In some landscapes, we co-initiate and co-develop projects with our partners. In others, we connect and enhance the existing work of local landscape-based initiatives and stimulate new partnerships. We work directly with landscape partners, or support landscapes through regional, national and global partnerships.
