From green deserts to thriving landscapes
Dutch farmers ditch intensive practices to restore ecology and promote sustainable farming through resilient business models.
Landscape degradation affects us all. From climate change and biodiversity loss, to pollution and food insecurity, it is at the heart of the world’s biggest challenges. But there is hope: with holistic landscape restoration, we can restore natural ecosystems and create thriving nature-positive economies that support communities for generations to come. Using the 4 Returns approach to landscape restoration, we work with partners all over the world to help them restore their landscape. Explore the landscapes below.
The world’s ecosystems are degrading at an unprecedented pace. We support partners in over 20 countries to restore landscapes and regenerate the Earth. Together, we create worldwide impact.
Landscape restoration is the improvement of degraded land on a large scale. It rebuilds ecosystems and enhances people’s lives. Restoration aims to improve water quality, protect and restore biodiversity, and create healthier soil (and, in turn, healthier plants). To be successful, landscape restoration must be long-term and holistic. In other words, it must address the interests and needs of all local stakeholders over time.
