Our guiding principles  

All our work is guided by the following key principles: ecosystem integrity, inclusion and green growth.

Maintaining and
restoring ecosystem
integrity

We believe in working with nature, not against it. Our projects focus on regions that have suffered from deforestation and environmental degradation, but still contain vital habitats and biodiversity. Working at a landscape scale, we aim to regenerate ecosystems and the services they provide for people and nature.

Ensuring inclusion
and stakeholder
engagement

Our work grows from the ground up: all our projects are co-designed and delivered with local people to meet their needs. We believe that drawing on a diverse range of knowledge, skills, perspectives and experiences leads to better outcomes for everybody. A key step in all our projects is setting up multistakeholder platforms that convene at least four times a year to coordinate activities, review progress and address any gaps or grievances.   

Supporting green growth,
jobs and socioeconomic
development

Forest landscape restoration needs to be sustainable economically as well as environmentally. We contribute to socioeconomic development by creating jobs, improving the livelihoods of smallholders and communities, and supporting nature-friendly enterprises. Our projects integrate training, capacity building and technical support, especially for women and youth.
