The Forest Ecosystem Restoration Initiative on the Ground
Case Studies from twelve small-scale innovative ecosystem restoration projects around the world.
One of the main implementation channels of FERI is to provide strategic co-funding and technical support to pilot restoration activities in developing countries. These pilot projects test a variety of innovative restoration techniques and compile and disseminate
lessons learned that could be used in similar restoration contexts.
A total of 12 projects received funding from FERI. Projects incorporating biodiversity considerations were selected between 2016 and 2017 through calls for submissions through the Secretariat and the Global Partnership on Forest and Landscape Restoration (GPFLR).
