In land restoration, farmers are not just mere recipients but major partners in implementation because they are the ones working in the field. Photo shows members of a people's organization tending crops at one of the INREMP sites at Mt Data, Bauko, Mountain Province. Photo: ICRAF/Grace Ann Reynoso

One of the world’s largest restoration projects has overcome challenges thanks to partnerships that changed mindsets and the ways things are done.
The Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project in the Philippines is one of the planet’s most ambitious restoration projects. It is led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, known as DENR, with substantial funding from the Asian Development Bank, International Fund for Agricultural Development, Global Environment Facility and the Government of the Philippines. World Agroforestry (ICRAF) has been providing technical support in the last two and a half years of the project.
