大约65％的非洲农田被贬低，由于不可持续的农业和放牧做法而磨损。森林，草原和其他郁郁葱葱的景观也正面临迅速的破坏，导致水不安全感和生长的沙漠。如果没有紧急行动，土壤将产生越来越少的食物，这对依靠土地养活家人的非洲60％的人构成了严重的问题。

Fortunately, there are thousands of community-led organizations that are restoring land across the continent, making the soil more productive while helping to galvanize local economies, boost biodiversity, adapt to the impacts of climate change, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These “Restoration Champions” engage thousands of smallholder farmers to revitalize their land, but they lack the capacity and investment needed to scale up their work.

还原本地， 部分The Audacious Project2023年的队列，为整个大陆提供恢复冠军，并提供所需的支持。建立在African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100), founded in 2015, the four-year project will work to restore Africa’s vital landscapes by investing in locally led restoration at scale.

The Restore Local blueprint has four major parts:

1. Develop Capacity

恢复冠军努力获得技术援助和培训，以增强他们对社区动员，农业，林业和商业的现有知识。为了确保他们准备获得资金并提供影响，Restore Local提供了有针对性的培训，并通过诸如计划（例如土地加速器.

2. Deploy Finance

由于高利率或偿还时间表与他们所需的一切不同步，四个恢复企业中有三分之三难以从国家或地方金融机构获得融资。通过TerraFund for AFR100和混合金融机制, Restore Local directly funds champions who restore vitality to the land.

3. Secure Policy

当以正确的方式设计时，地方和国家政策可以激励和奖励其工作的冠军。恢复当地支持国家和次国政府机构在承诺恢复时制定国家计划。它通过诸如诸如景观政策加速器和theLandscape Monitoring Accelerator.

4.监视，报告，验证和学习

To prove their impact, Restoration Champions need to track the progress of their work. But existing tools are not designed with their needs in mind. Through a standard framework that combines cutting-edge geospatial data with on-the ground verification, Restore Local enables Restoration Champions to understand the impact of their work and share it with their community, peers and investors. This data is housed on theTerraMatch platform.

Target Landscapes

Restore Local将与主要的利益相关者合作，并专注于在三个锚固景观中提供此蓝图：

  1. TheLake Kivu & Rusizi River Basinin Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda, expanding to the Albertine Rift.
  2. TheGreater Rift Valley of Kenya, expanding across the East African Rift Valley.
  3. TheCocoa Belt of Ghana，遍布西非几内亚森林。

然后，Restore Local将准备必要的基础设施，以通过AFR100国家注册表扩大这项工作，AFR100国家注册表是一种可定制的系统，可列出冠军的技术援助和财务需求。中央跟踪仪表板将使投资者，政府官员和技术专家能够了解非洲恢复运动的广度和深度。

该计划与合作伙伴合作，并通过大胆的项目进行资金而催化，最终将在AFR100景观中扩展，这与该计划的愿景保持一致，即在2030年之前恢复1亿公顷土地。
