    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.
