Ecosystem Restoration Initiatives empower local communities to restore degraded land, improve biodiversity, and reconnect people with nature. Rooted in the global Ecosystem Restoration Communities movement, these projects transform sites into thriving ecosystems where life can return — and communities can learn, grow, and thrive together.
Across the world, local teams are regenerating soil, planting trees, and restoring natural habitats. These efforts not only increase biodiversity and carbon storage but also build stronger, more resilient communities. With guidance from the ERC network, you’ll learn how to design a restoration plan, build local partnerships, and implement regenerative practices suited to your environment.
By starting an Ecosystem Restoration Initiative, you’ll become part of a worldwide movement of communities restoring hectares and planting trees. Your project will be a living laboratory — a place of hope and learning for generations to come.
