Ecosystem Restoration Communities

Ecosystem Restoration Communities is a global network that backs local people to repair damaged land and seas, growing a worldwide movement of grassroots restorers.

Across the world, ecosystems are breaking down through deforestation, soil loss, dwindling water and falling biodiversity. These crises feed into one another and into climate change, food insecurity and the fraying connection between people and nature. Restoration is one of the few responses that addresses all of them at once.

The organisation works on the conviction that lasting recovery is led by the communities who live on the land. It connects local restoration projects into a single network, sharing knowledge between them, channelling funding and support, and offering training so that practical skills spread from place to place. Its own role is to enable and amplify, not to dictate.
