Description:
Recent global interest in restoration and tree planting represents a huge opportunity for delivering species conservation and ecological restoration that benefits biodiversity, people and captures carbon. However, with a lack of attention paid to species selection in planting programmes, biodiversity benefits are often missed. The Ecological Restoration Alliance of Botanic Gardens (ERA) and the botanical community has developed data tools and resources that can help restoration decision-makers and practitioners to shift towards an approach that benefits biodiversity. This presentation will share the work of ERA and the IUCN/SSC Plant Conservation Commission, and share tools to support species selection and to guide best practice for forest restoration. The Global Biodiversity Standard will also be introduced, which aims to assess the biodiversity value of tree planting and restoration programmes and provide an incentive to strive towards stronger biodiversity outcomes.
Webinars are held the 3rd Friday of each month from 12 to 1 pm Eastern EST using the platform "Zoom".
