Keynote Speakers

As we enter the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, we have assembled leaders from around the world that represent the full diversity of restoration projects and initiatives, policy and scientific advancement, that must take place in order to catalyze a lasting change in our relationship to nature. Each of our speakers is bringing about positive change on every scale from the hyperlocal, through community engagement and education, to transnational collaboration and development of global programs and policy. They represent all the places where restoration is happening and offer examples of how it can be applied in other regions and locations. Each day of the conference will include plenary sessions exploring critical factors for the success of the Decade: restoration and community, restoration to address climate change and biodiversity loss, transboundary and transnational approaches to restoration, and restoration in challenging contexts.
