Grassroots organizations – community forest associations, small enterprises, cooperatives, and Indigenous groups – are the drivers of the world's land restoration economy. It's not enough to shine a spotlight on them in international fora. It's time to invest in their vision – and shine a light on their impact through transparent data. Through #TerraFund, #HaritBharatFund, and the #PricelessPlanet Coalition, World Resources Institute have already invested $60 million in flexible grants, loans, and equity investments to organizations that represent frontline communities. Allies like Maliasili, Regeneration, Barka, One Tree Planted, and Realize Impact are helping us push forward every day. Together, we've pledged to grow more local, more creative, and more accountable with every fund we raise and every project we co-create. Let's go into this new year with a renewed pledge to invest more, faster, and better.
