Capacity Exchange

Our programs and activities for capacity exchange aim to improve environmental decision-making processes

Decision Support

We develop sophisticated user-friendly decision support platforms for multi-criteria spatial optimisation planning of environmental challenges

Forest Restoration

Forest and landscape restoration is critical for reducing the negative impacts caused by humans to the environment as it can generate several benefits

Natural Regeneration

Natural forest regeneration is the most cost-effective nature-based solution as it is a low-cost, low-tech and high impact strategy for sequestering carbon and conserving biodiversity

Spatial Planning

Systematic spatial planning is key for guiding practices that maximise a variety of long-term environmental benefits, while minimising costs
