Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration

In the space of a few centuries, mankind has removed more than half of Earth's original forest cover. Every year, a further area the size of Greece is lost (FAO, 2005). The world's biodiversity and climate, and the livelihoods of millions of people are under serious threat. However, all over the world people have started to restore their forest landscapes. Hence, degraded forests have become landscapes of opportunity, and the scale of this opportunity is immense.
