Restoration Education

Teaching tomorrow’s landscape leaders

Share:

Around 40% of the Earth’s land is already degraded, threatening half of global GDP. We need to act now – but how?

We offer a series of blended courses and curricula covering everything that tomorrow’s landscape leaders need to know.

Landscape restoration has been taught in colleges and universities across the world under various disciplines. Now, for the first time ever, we’re bringing all of these disciplines together under a single banner: Restoration Education.

Empowering landscape thinking for inclusive landscape restoration

The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration is creating opportunities to address restoration from new perspectives – and we’re aiming to transform how restoration is taught.

The Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) partnered with the International Union Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), Wageningen Centre for Development, and Wageningen University and Research, along with numerous partner universities across Africa, to bring you a series of blended courses and curricula covering everything you need to know about restoration.
