"In response to the growing crisis of biodiversity loss, The Restoration
Initiative (TRI) is making significant progress in restoring ecosystems and
promoting sustainable land management practices worldwide. This effort comes as
the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on
Biological Diversity (CBD) will convene from 21 October – 1 November 2024.
The ongoing loss of biodiversity not only threatens the resilience of
ecosystems but also the well-being of communities globally. TRI is committed to
reversing the impacts of deforestation and land degradation, thereby
safeguarding biodiversity for future generations.
Over the next week, TRI will be showcased at a number of events at CBD COP16
(listed below), to demonstrate how ecosystem restoration can be done, while
reflecting on the impact of our work and experiences in monitoring, financing
and policy influencing.
Since its inception in 2018, TRI has united ten projects across nine countries,
collaborating with three Global Environment Facility agencies—the International
Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Food and Agriculture Organization
(FAO), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)—along with
governments and strategic partners to overcome existing barriers to restoring
degraded landscapes, in support of the Bonn Challenge.
TRI has implemented projects across Africa and Asia, successfully bringing
under restoration over 355,672 hectares of land and placing more than 715,164
hectares under sustainable management. These efforts have further empowered
over 810,526 people, mitigated greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 27.4
million tCO2eq, and led to the strengthening and adoption of over 62 policies
in support of forest and landscape restoration across various countries."
