Who we work with
The Global Partnership on Forest and Landscape Restoration (GPFLR) was launched in 2003 by IUCN, WWF and the Forestry Commission of Great Britain. Since then more than 25 governments and international and non-governmental organizations have joined.
Our partners and collaborators are making a difference all over the world, improving the well-being of communities and the environments in which they live. By joining the GPFLR they are plugged into the world’s leading network for forest and landscape restoration practitioners and policy-makers.
Members contribute to the partnership with expertise, funding, policies and projects. They benefit from the experience and advice of a growing community of partners, and gain access to the latest research, policy information and tools in the field of forest restoration. This helps them to improve their restoration efforts and gain recognition for them from a global audience.

Partners
The GPFLR has operated as an informal alliance but in recognition of the deepening commitment of many of its members. Based on the scale of the restoration opportunity that exists worldwide, the partnership will be moving towards a more structured arrangement. This will see the most active and collaborative members being recognized as Partners, while Associates will continue to be involved but at a less intensive level than Partners. The broader network of people and organizations interested in forest and landscape restoration will participate as Collaborators.
