Episode description

Today Salina Abraham, the [Global Landscape Forum](https://www.globallandscapesforum.org/) strategic adviser joins me as we investigate what was achieved last week during the conference. In this conversation in we talk about the critical issues of finance. How do Africa finance dryland restoration this decade now identified as the UN decade of restoration? How best can Africa take advantage of its massive population of robust youth, among many other issues. Are you aged between 18 and 35 years old and have initiated a restoration project in forests, mountains, oceans, peatlands/wetlands, and drylands/rangelands ecosystems? Then this [opportunity](https://www.globallandscapesforum.org/the-decade/restoration-stewards/application-guidelines/) is for you. Also, would you like to foster regular gatherings of like-minded stakeholders to accelerate restoration activities within their landscapes? Check out this [opportunity](https://events.globallandscapesforum.org/glfx-african-chapter-application/). The Restoration of the African Dryland series is a six-part series on the upcoming Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) Africa Digital Conferenceled by the [Center for the International Forestry Research](https://www.cifor.org/) (CIFOR) and the [World Agroforestry Centre](https://worldagroforestry.org/) (ICRAF).
