We strengthen our work through
Collaborating with universities and research institutes ensures the best outcomes for our projects and supports an evidence-based ecosystem restoration movement.
We’re always keen to hear about new opportunities for research collaboration. If your research focuses on our key themes we would be happy to hear from you.
Please write to us at research@weforest.org
Investigating the impacts of restoration on climate processes (and vice versa) helps to maximise restoration benefits such as carbon sequestration and improves our understanding of how forests respond to a changing climate.
