News published: 20 April 2023

You need to get the word out on your restoration project to connect with collaborators, funders, and geo-relevant information. The Restor platform can help you with all three functions. By listing your restoration projects on the platform, it will gain visibility to both potential collaborators and funders. You will be able to explore site-specific ecological data for planning and monitoring of your projects. Restor, the International Society of Tropical Foresters, Terraformation, and the UN Decade for Restoration are teaming up to offer a training webinar (same content) on 4 occasions for different regions on how to load your restoration project on the Restor platform. Dates and times below (find your time zone at https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html):
