Why maintenance and monitoring are key to forest restoration

In this video, Luis Alarcón shares how the ecological restoration process has been in one of the areas of our project in El Libano, Tolima, Colombia. Alarcón accompanied the planting of more than 15,000 trees and has carried out maintenance on the trees we planted. Thanks to his constant work, we can see the trees growing today.

Special thanks to Ledis Arango for producing this video.

The Restoration Stewards program provides funding, mentorship and training to deepen the impact of youth-led restoration projects. The year-long program is run by the Youth in Landscapes Initiative (YIL) and the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) under the banner of Generation Restoration to support and highlight the work of eight young restoration practitioners and their teams in 2023.

During the program, the Restoration Stewards and their teams are  supported to further develop their project and serve as ambassadors at both global and local levels. Globally, the Restoration Stewards share their journeys in a series of vlogs and blogs documenting their stories of inspiration and challenges and participate in different international events to showcase their work. Locally, they are sparking a restoration movement, mobilizing local communities and creating pathways to connect, share, learn, and act for livelihoods and landscapes.
