How are Indigenous Peoples and local communities involved in the ecosystem restoration projects being carried out by large international partners? And what tools and knowledge are needed to improve the links between the priorities of those living in the landscapes and territories and external parties seeking to restore these areas? These are some of the questions we are currently tackling under the IUCN-WCPA Restoration Task Force.
