Are you a young practitioner (under 35 years old) in Africa interested in learning more about forest and landscape restoration (FLR)?

The course aims to build the capacity, skills and networks of young practitioners and provide them with basic knowledge on the ecological, social, and economic aspects of FLR that they can apply in their careers.
