COMMUNITIES

Restoring landscapes at scale requires shared knowledge and collective action. Our communities bring together practitioners, researchers, and landscape professionals across regions, sectors, and disciplines – to exchange knowledge, ask questions, and learn from one another. Join the conversation and connect with communities working to restore and manage landscapes worldwide.

HOW COMMUNITIES WORK

To join our communities, you’ll need a free Landscape Academy account. Some communities are open to all members, while others are invitation-only – built around specific projects and collaborations.

Knowledge for Great Green Wall Action

Led by Landscape Alliance and FAO with EU support, K4GGWA works across 18 countries to turn the Great Green Wall vision into action. The programme strengthens knowledge systems, builds institutional capacity, and funds community-led innovations in sustainable land management across the Sahel and Horn of Africa. Through cross-learning events, an Innovation Facility, and targeted policy support, it connects national agencies, civil society, researchers, and rural communities around a shared agenda for land restoration and livelihood resilience.

Transformative Land Initiative

TLI works to shift land-based investment towards models that benefit people, ecosystems, and economies. Funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and led by Landscape Alliance, the programme operates in Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique, Laos, and Myanmar — bringing together investors, governments, and communities to rethink how land is accessed, used, and governed. Through multi-stakeholder platforms, business transformation labs, and enabling environment appraisals, TLI promotes investment approaches that strengthens food security, land tenure, and community resilience.

Right Tree, Right Place, Right Purpose

Large-scale restoration depends on planting the right trees – yet high-quality, genetically diverse native tree seed and seedlings remain in short supply across sub-Saharan Africa. RTRP-Seed addresses this critical gap.. Led by Landscape Alliance with Botanic Gardens Conservation International and GLF, and funded by Germany’s International Climate Initiative, the project works in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Burkina Faso to strengthen seed supply systems, develop nursery business models, and build policy frameworks that support native-species restoration at scale.

Restoration Education

Restoration practice is advancing fast, yet the knowledge that drives it is often fragmented, inaccessible, or disconnected from the people who need it most. The Restoration Education community brings together educators, practitioners, and researchers working at the intersection of learning and landscape restoration. It is a space for sharing curricula, field experience, and evidence; for developing training approaches that are locally grounded and globally relevant; and for building the professional networks that allow restoration knowledge reach further and have greater impact. Membership is by invitation.
