Summary
The multi-billion dollar investments in forest and landscape restoration (FLR) provide an unparalleled opportunity to restore and conserve the populations of native, threatened tree species while generating income for small seed businesses. We will work with forestry authorities, FLR implementers and forest-dependent communities in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and the Philippines to strengthen institutional and technical capacities, so that FLR projects are linked with quality seed sources and local seed producers with customers to support local livelihoods and sustainable forest management.
