1000 Landscapes For 1 Billion People

It's #LandDay at COP16! Each year, 12 million hectares of productive land are lost to desertification. Tackling this large-scale challenge requires collaborative, locally led solutions that can endure for generations. Fortunately, there is hope. Around the world, communities are coming together to combat #desertification and #revitalize landscapes. ?? In Niger, replanting acacia trees is regenerating ecosystems while bolstering local economies through the Gum Arabic trade. Meanwhile, South African farmers, in partnership with Living Lands are balancing livestock needs with wetland restoration, improving both soil fertility and water security. ?? In Kenya, with support from Rainforest Alliance, tea and coffee farmers are adopting #regenerativeagriculture techniques—agroforestry, soil conservation, and water management—boosting productivity while restoring vital ecosystems. ?? In Western Australia, led by groups like Gondwana Link, traditional Indigenous practices like cool burning are being combined with modern techniques to restore native vegetation, #conserve water, and rehabilitate degraded #soils. Each of these stories shares a common message: collaborative action across sectors can be a powerful catalyst for change. By uniting diverse stakeholders and combining local knowledge with science and policy, these regions are transforming barren lands into resilient, thriving landscapes. Dive into the stories of these incredible efforts in the debut of our documentary short, Hope Springs: Stories of Resilience in Drylands. ??

?? NEW REPORT RELEASE ?? Across landscapes worldwide, competing interests and priorities of communities, businesses, government, and #conservation groups often result in disjointed and ineffective financing for sustainable development goals. In Peru, there’s hope for a new path. Our latest report,?Finance Strategy for Priority Actions in the Alto Mayo Landscape,?provides an innovative roadmap for financing large-scale #sustainability initiatives in one of Peru’s most biodiverse regions. Co-authored with 1000L partners EcoAgriculture Partners, Conservation International (Conservación Internacional Perú), and Capital Continuum Advisers with support of the Global EbA Fund, this report presents an integrated investment strategy to align public and private #capital with the potential to transform 191,000 hectares of conservation areas, support #climate-resilient #agriculture across 30,000+ hectares, and prioritize #sustainable infrastructure.

ILM impact in action! ?? ???? ?? In December, the Chorotega Model Forest in Costa Rica hit an incredible milestone by establishing the Chorotega Network of Biological Corridors (?????? ?????????????????? ???? ???????????????????? ????????????????????). This network, composed of nine biological corridors, provides biological and structural connectivity to the region's protected wildlife areas and is the central hub for the model forest's management, #conservation, and sustainable production actions. The network's objective is to make the coordination of integrated landscape management more efficient by creating joint strategies and alliances. We're honored to be part of their ILM journey through the Forest Leaders for Integrated Landscape Management project, along with the Red Latinoamericana de Bosques Modelo. This project, supported by International Model Forest Network and Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is working to strengthen capacity for ILM leadership across Latin and South America.

Supply chains are only as resilient as the landscapes they depend on. This latest article by the WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development offers an insightful perspective on how landscape approaches are not only critical for community and ecosystem resilience but also a business imperative. Aligning environmental and economic needs across landscapes is not impossible. By engaging diverse stakeholders within ecological or jurisdictional boundaries, companies can achieve #social, #economic, and?#environmental?objectives, leading to sustainable outcomes that benefit both?# businesses?and communities. #sustainability #landscapeapproaches #supplychain #business #economy #thinklandscape https://lnkd.in/eKArF4uR

If you are interested in learning about "challenge mapping" and how it can be applied in the context of food systems change, this workshop happening tomorrow with the Si Food Hub could be for you: Full info and RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/eMpFMSzk Our current food system is broken—depleting soil, harming biodiversity, and creating inequities in access and livelihoods. But how did we get here? What are the deep-rooted challenges preventing a shift toward a regenerative food system? This first co-creation workshop in our three-part series will explore these questions using a Challenge Mapping Canvas to identify the key actors, factors, and interconnections shaping our food system today. In this workshop, we'll analyze the current food system to identify a key challenge, setting the stage for active exploration in our upcoming sessions. featuring Sayyeda Asra Sara Featherston Jill Bouscarat María Fernanda Vazquez Nicolini

From the forests of Brazil’s Pantanal to the Australian Outback, 2024 marked a critical year of exploration and reflection for 1000L as we continued to strengthen existing partnerships and build new connections in landscapes worldwide. We showcased inspiring stories of landscape innovation on a global stage and collaborated with partners to outline a new vision to forge our initiative’s future. We designed, tested, and delivered new learning resources focused on expanding literacy and expertise in integrated landscape management (ILM), and set the stage for a new generation of landscape leaders. 2025 is already shaping up to be a year of inspiration, leadership and collaboration, and we're excited to have you along for the ride!
