What’s the true value of sustainable land management? At #UNCCDCOP16Riyadh, CIFOR-ICRAF’s Ermias Aynekulu Betemariam highlights the importance of taking a holistic approach to evaluating the benefits of landscape restoration. When we measure sustainable land management—including agroforestry and forestry interventions—from a single perspective, such as soil health, biodiversity, or income, we miss the bigger picture. But when we adopt a holistic economic evaluation, the benefits are undeniable: For every dollar invested, returns range from 7% to 30%—a compelling case for scaling up restoration efforts. #Trees4Resilience

SPI Science Day at #COP16Riyadh In our session, "Can Science Better Inform and Shape Solutions?" moderated by Lukwesa Burak, speakers shared their insights on how science can drive actionable, community-centered change: Nathalie van Haren emphasized the power of clear, accessible communication with farmers and stakeholders. Leigh Winowiecki showcased the Regreen Africa App, which empowers farmers by providing secure data to visualize tree placement, track biodiversity, and engage actively in restoration efforts. Her call to action? Build monitoring systems from the soil up, ensuring data drives meaningful, community-centered impact. André F. van Rooyen reminded us: "There are no silver bullets in restoration." Context is key—solutions must be tailored to local goals while aligning farmer incentives with broader ecological frameworks. German Kust brought a global perspective to the importance of scalable, science-driven solutions. Key takeaway: Empowering farmers is critical. By addressing their immediate needs and aspirations, we can co-create solutions that not only work but endure. #Trees4Resilience #COP16Riyadh #ScienceForImpact

In the biodiverse forests and rural communities of southern Cameroon, wild meat plays a vital role in local diets and economies. Yet, this practice carries unseen dangers—zoonotic diseases that can leap from animals to humans through improper handling or consumption. From common food-borne pathogens like Salmonella and Giardia to rarer deadly viruses such as Ebola or Marburg viruses, which can cause hemorrhagic fever. The risks are real and often overlooked. Read how hunters, scientists and health workers are working together to tackle zoonotic disease risks while preserving a vital food source. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4iiRLeZ Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH | USAID| #Trees4Resilience

What’s next for the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration? Yesterday at the UN Environment Programme Pavilion, experts and partners came together to reflect on the progress of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and envision its next five years. The initiative, launched in 2021, has reached millions, uniting 280 partners and 17 UN World Restoration Flagships with ambitious goals to restore 200 million hectares of land. CIFOR-ICRAF’s Salina Abraham presented on the Regreening Africa initiative, which earlier this year was recognized as a UN World Restoration Flagship for its exceptional large-scale restoration efforts. Earlier this week, at #COP16Riyadh, in collaboration with our partners, we launched the second phase of the Regreening Africa project. In Phase II, we aim to support 200,000 smallholder farming and pastoral households in adopting profitable regreening practices, strengthening rural enterprises, and enhancing resilience in Africa’s drylands. #Trees4Resilience #RegreenAfrica #GenerationRestoration
