Restoration Education: A Call to Collective Action

A diversity of practitioners, youth, policymakers, educators, capacity developers and others from across Africa and beyond gathered on 3 June 2021 to call for immediate action to restore Africa’s landscapes. These individuals were brought together in a session titled “Enhancing Restoration Capacities in African Drylands: A Decade for Action,” organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) and the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF). This session was part of the larger GLF Africa 2021 digital conference. Participants, seeing the urgent need to restore Africa’s landscapes, concluded that such a massive restoration effort demands the mobilization of existing capacities from across the continent. Educational institutions – from schools to colleges and universities – have a significant role to play. In addition, there are many training opportunities for professionals.
