Young people are restoring Africa's future.

Across the continent, young restoration leaders are driving innovative community-led projects that restore ecosystems, empower local communities, and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. Recent recognition through the Global Landscapes Forum highlights the growing impact of youth leadership in restoration.

Young people are not just the future of restoration—they are leading it today.

Restoration Knowledge Across Africa

Knowledge sharing is one of the most powerful restoration tools.

In June 2026, IUCN's UN Decade Ecosystem Restoration Hub brought restoration practitioners together from across Africa to showcase successful restoration projects and share practical guidance for scaling restoration across the continent.

By learning from each other, restoration efforts become stronger, faster, and more effective.

Trees for the Future

Restoration begins with communities.

Trees for the Future continues transforming degraded farmland into thriving Forest Gardens across East and West Africa.

Their work has now restored more than 41,000 hectares, improved biodiversity, and helped over 50,000 farming households improve food security and income through regenerative agriculture. The programme has also been recognised as a UN World Restoration Flagship.

Every restored farm creates healthier soils, more wildlife habitat and stronger communities.

Africa's rangelands are vital ecosystems that support millions of people, wildlife, and livestock.

More than 6,500 participants from 135 countries gathered at GLF Africa 2026 in Nairobi to discuss restoring rangelands, supporting pastoralist communities, and strengthening climate resilience across Africa. The event brought together researchers, Indigenous communities, governments, youth, and restoration practitioners to accelerate action for healthy landscapes.

Healthy rangelands mean:

Improved biodiversity
Better water retention
More resilient livelihoods
Increased food security
