    mindsets, support implementation.
  2. Showcase different restoration practices and investigate their
    suitability for the different places and people in the country.
  3. Provide a platform for engaging with policy makers that will
    contribute to necessary policy adjustments needed to support
    landscape restoration.
  4. Highlight the role of women and youth in restoration and outline
    potential for their greater inclusion.

    entrepreneurship and business.

    learning framework for landscape restoration.
