Just Restoration: A Training Curriculum

These training materials support reflective learning about social justice issues related to ecological restoration. The material was collated through a review of literature and a consultation process comprising a survey and interviews with a diversity of actors from across the globe involved in restoration programs and projects. Survey respondents and interviewees were varied, spanning researchers, community leaders, donors, policymakers and restoration practitioners working from local site level to international programs with state, private, non-governmental and Indigenous Peoples and local community organizations. The curriculum has been prepared by researchers from the University of East Anglia, UK, having been commissioned by Conservation International in collaboration with the Climate and Land Use Alliance (CLUA). The aim of the curriculum is to help participants chart a course towards more just and effective restoration practice within and through their organizations and implementing partnerships. This version has not yet been piloted and whilst it is ready for use, we would expect a future update in light of initial use and feedback.
