To improve dialogue and knowledge circulation between different actors of policy, practice and sciences, the ZALF working group “Sustainable Land Use in Developing Countries”, together with the GIZ project “Forests4Future” initiated the “WebTREESSeries”. This webinar series focuses on studies related to impacts of Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) in Africa with a session planned on a bi-monthly basis.
The first session took place on 2nd March 2023 and focused on Togo with presentations by Edoh Ekoue and Lidia Dekede from the University of Lomé on perceptions and adoption of agroforestry practices, and contributions of (non-) timber forest products to FLR. This webinar was conducted in French and English to increase participation and outreach. The next webinar will focus on FLR in Ethiopia and is planned for May.
The WebTREESeries is the product of a current collaboration between ZALF and GIZ and its Global project on Forest Landscape Restoration and good governance in the forest sector (Forests4Future) commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Forests4Future aims to restore forests and tree-rich, productive landscapes in different African countries, who are committed to the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative, the AFR100. Linked to Forests4Future, ZALF is performing accompanying research on F4F implementation. The research results will help to scientifically underpin the FLR practices developed for each country package, taking into account their context-specific ecological, economic, and social conditions.
