WeForest is committed to developing applied research projects that will help understand and improve Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) practices, ultimately aiming to maximise positive impacts for forest recovery, biodiversity, climate change, local livelihoods and water and food security. To achieve this, WeForest collaborates with a network of research partners from universities and research institutes worldwide.

WeForest is a Partner of the Global Partnership on Forest and Landscape Restoration (GPFLR), a consortium of proactive stakeholders working together to catalyse the restoration of the world’s deforested and degraded landscapes. Partners of the GPFLR collaborate to engage decision-makers, the private sector, civil society and other actors in supporting FLR and to create knowledge networks and build capacity for best practice globally, as well as contribute to the UN Decade on Ecosystem restoration.
