Welcome!

Welcome at the learning site about Forest Landschape Restoration, initiated and maintained by the GPFLR (Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration).

While a range of ad hoc information sharing, learning and communications activities have taken place under the umbrella of the GPFLR during the past few years, partners have expressed a desire to undertake more coordinated learning. The discussions within the GPFLR have focused on the formation of a network that most closely aligns with the notion of a best practice or knowledge for action network. These involve learning aimed at doing something, i.e. aimed at doing FLR more effectively.

A learning framework provides strategies and channels for gathering information, providing insight into each individual’s learning whilst working under the umbrella of the partnership, and providing opportunities for reflection at strategic times. It can help identify key patterns and impacts. From this process adaptive – both supportive and corrective – action can be identified and taken.

It will be important not to act as a closed ‘club’ concentrating only on strengthening the capacity and practice of the partners inside the network. A flexible system of interaction is required to encourage new understanding and relationships.
