The session will showcase FLR implementation across diverse regions and contexts, highlighting their contributions to global restoration goals.
“SER2025 offers an incredible opportunity to highlight how global and regional restoration initiatives are making commitments into real action. Our symposium will bring together diverse partners to share lessons, tools, and innovations that are driving high-quality landscape restoration around the world. I want to express my gratitude to SER by bringing all of us together ,” said Anita Diederichsen, Chair of the GPFLR.
Due to the incredible contributions from GPFLR members to shape the Conference, GPFLR has been recognized as In-Kind Sponsors of this year’s edition of the event.
