Many thanks to Eritrean and Ethiopian colleagues for their support over the past few months, and for hosting inspiring conversations about land restoration. Our long-term work continues – restoring natural highland landscapes using native trees, while simultaneously ensuring economic benefit for local people with faster growing species and improved grazing. We hope that funding will soon be available and look forward to upcoming meetings with potential partners. Scott’s 2018 publication “Restoration of Dry Mountain Forests in Eritrea – Scaling Up to Mitigate Climate Change” summarises the challenges we face and potential ways forward.
