🌱High-quality land restoration doesn’t come from manuals alone. It grows through experience, mentoring, and shared problem-solving in the field. That’s why #RestoreLocal is supporting a peer-to-peer learning exchange in the Lake Kivu & Rusizi landscape.

High-quality land restoration is not achievable without strong collaboration among champions&purposeful partnerships that help drive a thriving restoration economy. It's always encouraging to see champions learning from one another& continuously strengthening their best practices

🌿 In Nyamasheke District, with support from #TerraFund for #FR100, we believe restoration goes beyond trees — it’s about people & livelihoods too. We’ve formed women’s groups in all villages, met their reps, and provided piglets 🐖 to boost income & organic farming.
