Twenty percent of global land area<\/a>\u00a0is degraded to some extent. In Africa, it is estimated that\u00a0two-thirds<\/a>\u00a0of productive land is degraded, impacting\u00a0hundreds of millions of people\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0ability to\u00a0 produce food and making them more vulnerable than ever to our rapidly changing climate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Healthy land resources, including soil, water and biodiversity,\u00a0provide services<\/a>\u00a0such as food, fuel, fibre, clean water<\/a>, and other raw materials that enable our well-being and livelihoods.<\/p>\n

Restoring degraded land<\/a> is important to combat\u00a0desertification<\/a>,\u00a0climate change<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0biodiversity loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why restoring degraded land has been discussed and supported widely at a global and continental level. The\u00a0United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration<\/a>\u00a02021-2030 aims to build a movement for\u00a0becoming #GenerationRestoration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

African nations have demonstrated their commitment to land restoration<\/a> through large-scale targets, such as the African Forest Landscape Restoration<\/a> Initiative (AFR 100<\/a>) under the\u00a0Bonn Challenge<\/a>, and the\u00a0Great Green Wall<\/a>, which aim to restore 100 million hectares across the continent by 2030.<\/p>\n

Ecosystem restoration\u00a0takes place across a continuum<\/a>, from reducing impacts to ecological restoration where native ecosystems are fully recovering. Within landscapes, restoration can include many practices, and often (but not always) includes trees.<\/p>\n

Given the urgency to restore land and the ambition of these goals and commitments, it can be tempting to prioritise simply getting as many trees in the ground as possible. But as evidence mounts about the importance of choosing the right trees in the right places for the right reasons and ensuring restoration is diverse and community led, many individuals, organizations, and governments are now asking how to achieve restoration that not only has a positive impact on the landscapes, but also on the individuals that manage and depend on them.<\/p>\n

To highlight how this kind of restoration can effectively be carried out, the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration is identifying\u00a0World Restoration Flagships<\/a>\u00a0which it deems the \u201cworld\u2019s most successful examples of healing the planet\u201d \u2013 stand-out examples of large-scale and long-term ecosystem restoration across the globe.<\/p>\n

On the 13th\u00a0of February 2024,\u00a0Regreening Africa<\/a>\u00a0was announced as one of these flagships.<\/p>\n

Regreening Africa worked from 2017 to 2023, with the financial support of the\u00a0European Union<\/a>, across eight sub-Saharan African countries to restore large areas of land for the benefit of people, biodiversity, and climate. It engaged with more than\u00a0600,000 households<\/a>, and brought\u00a0over 350,000 hectares<\/a>\u00a0under restoration. The initiative is now planning its next and more ambitious phase, building on the achievements and lessons of the past five and a half years.<\/p>\n

Multiple restoration practices, such as tree-growing through\u00a0planting and grafting<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0farmer-managed natural regeneration<\/a>\u00a0(FMNR), were combined with soil and water conservation, and\u00a0policy\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0value chain<\/a>\u00a0interventions. Multiple options ensured that the restoration suited local conditions and needs, rather than taking a \u2018one size fits all\u2019 approach.<\/p>\n

Regreening Africa is first and foremost a\u00a0partnership<\/a>, working across multiple development and research organizations, governments, and \u2013 most importantly \u2013 the local communities in each of the programme countries. In this way, local needs and knowledge were matched with non-governmental organizational and governmental support, and farmer-to-farmer learning allowed for rapid and low-cost knowledge exchange.<\/p>\n

Science was integrated to inform and\u00a0track progress<\/a>\u00a0and to ensure a process of \u2018learning while doing\u2019. Regreening Africa, like many other integrated \u2018Research in Development<\/a>\u2019 programmes, demonstrates that integrating knowledge from many sources \u2013 including local knowledge, development experience, and research \u2013 can improve interventions.\u00a0Engagement processes<\/a>\u00a0can create transformational learning spaces where diverse knowledge and stakeholders can come together for more impactful decision-making.<\/p>\n

One lesson that came out strongly from Regreening Africa \u2013 and one that deserves more widespread recognition \u2013 is the need to focus locally. Within agricultural landscapes in sub-Saharan Africa, land restoration is primarily the work of local people, either on their own land, on land they use, or on communal or government-managed land in the area.<\/p>\n

Therefore, restoration activities need to make sense to diverse\u00a0local people and communities<\/a>, and result in better livelihoods, food security, business opportunities, and well-being. Examples include building equitable value chains around products that result from restoration, such as\u00a0honey<\/a>,\u00a0shea<\/a>\u00a0and other fruits, and nuts.<\/p>\n

Policies and tenure arrangements can incentivize restoration or make it challenging for communities. For example, in several West African countries, the\u00a0right to use trees that are naturally grown does not sit with the land manager<\/a>: if people want to prune or cut down naturally regenerated trees on their land, they must engage in a long and, at times, costly permit process. We must ask ourselves: if someone does not benefit from restoring land, why should we expect them to spend significant time and energy on this work? Examples of policy shifts are available, for example in\u00a0Niger<\/a>, where greater use rights over trees were given to land managers.<\/p>\n

Tenure and rights must be a central consideration if we want landscape restoration to succeed and have long lasting and equitable impacts. Scientists are sharing valuable insights on this topic in Africa, for example in\u00a0Madagascar<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Cameroon<\/a>. Women and\u00a0youth\u00a0<\/a>across the region often have fewer rights to land and tree resources. However, positive examples of shifting\u00a0gender\u00a0<\/a>norms can be found in many countries, such as community dialogues in\u00a0Kenya<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ghana<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In sum, Regreening Africa\u2019s recognition as a World Restoration Flagship is a welcome accolade, but the most important work still lies before us. Scientists have\u00a0identified<\/a>\u00a0the current decade as the \u201clast chance to prevent catastrophic climate change.\u201d The task of resourcing and supporting diverse communities around the world to protect and revive ecosystems \u2013 for their own sake and that of future generations \u2013\u00a0continues. Science and evidence plays an important role in this process. Let\u2019s build from what we have learnt and get to work!<\/p>\n
