Forest landscape restoration through agroforestry
Forest landscape restoration through agroforestry
Our Objective
We support the Wyss Academy’s forest landscape restoration efforts by generating strategic knowledge to scale agroecological solutions that promote biodiversity, strengthen climate resilience, and sustain local livelihoods.

The project was launched on March 17, 2022 and is currently in progress.
Summary
This project collaborates with Wyss Academy teams and partners to co-develop, test, monitor, and scale agroecological restoration interventions—currently focusing on agroforestry systems in Tambopata, Madre de Dios, Peru.
Through a participatory and interdisciplinary approach, the project collects data from over 100 farms, identifies opportunities for scaling through stakeholder engagement, and models long-term impacts to guide implementation, planning, and policy decisions. As part of a broader set of restoration efforts in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, the project emphasizes adaptive, locally tailored practices that integrate traditional knowledge with scientific innovation.
