Why is There a Need for Landscape Restoration?

To address deforestation, land degradation, and climate change effectively, we must all work together.

While planting trees is key to our restoration strategy and acts as our cornerstone as we scale our projects, the climate crisis is accelerating, and it’s time to do more.

Fire has long been a natural part of many African landscapes. By understanding regional differences, we develop responses that meet the needs of local communities and the environment.

By working hand in hand with communities, we blend innovative practices, sustainable initiatives, and adaptive management to create lasting change.

During the 2024 wildfire season, Honduras experienced record-breaking temperatures that disrupted water cycles and prolonged the dry season. The combined challenges of drought and extreme heat led to a crisis affecting over 294,000 hectares nationwide, including the Olancho and Francisco Morazan departments where Eden works.

Inspiring hope is essential for driving positive, meaningful action. At Eden: People+Planet, we partner with communities globally to restore and conserve landscapes, fostering collective actions driven by a shared sense of hope and purpose.

Across Eden’s global network of projects, wildfires are some of the most damaging and difficult challenges we face. These fires not only endanger people and biodiversity but also risk undermining years of hard-won restoration work by degrading intact landscapes and forests.

By blending science-based solutions with community knowledge, we address the unique challenges of each landscape we work in.

The scale of the climate crisis can sometimes feel overwhelming; so big that we feel that our individual actions don’t make a difference, but by coming together, we can accelerate our mission and bring lasting benefits to global ecosystems and communities.
