EcoAgriculture Partners

We ask you to join us and actualize our vision for a better future—a future where poverty is reduced, nature is preserved, and the planet thrives. When people come together to work towards a shared vision for a sustainable and equitable future, everyone benefits. We are all stakeholders in the well-being of our respective landscapes, but we are also stakeholders at the global level in the well-being of our planet. Integrated landscape management is an increasingly popular approach to addressing our planet’s land use, climate change, food security, and water access challenges. But how can we explain the concept to newcomers? This animated explainer captures the core elements of what ILM looks like in practice. #sustainability #ilm #holisticlanduse #landscape #collaboration #ecoagriculture

Over 20 Mata Atlántica Model Forest leaders met last Friday for their first sustainable, inclusive and participatory governance workshop. 🙌 Together, they discussed their landscape's strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats and took steps to engage with territories around participatory, integrated and inclusive socio-environmental governance. 💪 Landscape leaders from the Mata Atlántica Model Forest participate in our Forest Leaders for Integrated Landscape Management Program. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) made this program possible. We also want to thank the International Model Forest Network and Red Latinoamericana de Bosques Modelo for this collaboration. 👫 👫 👫 ◾ ◾ ◾ El último viernes, más de 20 actores de la subcuenca del río Taquaraçu, del Bosque Modelo Mata Atlántica, se reunieron en lo que fue el primer Taller de Gobernanza Sostenible, Inclusiva y Participativa.

Exciting times for Latin America's landscape leaders! EcoAgriculture Partners is thrilled to announce the funding of 15 seed grant proposals designed to support sustainable landscape management across the region. These USD $5,000 grants, comprehensive training, and mentorship will empower Model Forests to build stronger leadership and governance strategies in their landscapes. From Brazil's Pantanal to Argentina's Tucuman, these initiatives already spark collaboration between diverse partners. Whether applying integrated landscape management practices, strengthening governance, or regenerating landscapes, these leaders work toward a brighter, greener future! We're so excited to see how these projects unfold and the positive impact they will have on their communities and ecosystems.

That's a wrap! 💫 Our delegates have returned from an inspiring week at #COP16, where they actively advocated for landscape approaches in addressing today's most pressing environmental issues. 🌎 🌿 Our mission at #COP16 was to underscore the critical role of landscape finance in driving long-term biodiversity solutions. We believe that effective landscape finance models are key to channeling resources toward high-impact projects and empowering communities and stakeholders to take sustainable action. 💪 Reflecting on the momentum from #COP16, we are energized to continue championing initiatives that bridge finance with environmental impact. Our commitment to sustainability is unwavering, and we are confident that we can transform ideas into action for a thriving, biodiverse planet.

🚨 Update from #COP16! Juan C. Ramos, our Senior Manager of Finance and Policy, recently presented our groundbreaking finance innovations at the #COP16 event: Operationalizing Landscape Approaches to Ensure We Are on Track With the Biodiversity Plan. The event featured insights from speakers representing Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), IUCN, CDP, WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development, High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People, among others. They discussed how landscape approaches can be integrated into national biodiversity strategies and highlighted initiatives that support comprehensive, 'whole-of-society' solutions. Key takeaways from the event included: 🌎  Landscape Approaches 🌎 These are crucial for meeting all the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) goals, especially Target 3. Engagement with Indigenous peoples and local communities remains essential, as shown by long-term research from IPSI and IPBES. 💵 Finance and Private Sector Involvement 💵 Intentional and thoughtful engagement is vital. Insights from CDP’s work on landscape initiative demonstrate paths forward for meaningful collaboration. 🙌  Diverse Approaches & Ongoing Efforts 🙌 Organizations like the NBSAP Accelerator Partnership and 1000 Landscapes For 1 Billion People showcased diverse ways to operationalize and fund landscape approaches. 👫 Unifying Efforts 👫 There's still a need for stronger collaboration among governments and organizations to scale up and mobilize these efforts effectively. #COP16 #Cali
