Yesterday, May 27th, the Greening Belize Initiative marked an important milestone with the signing of Data Sharing Agreements📄 and a Memorandum of Understanding with ten partner organizations committed to restoration and sustainable land management in Belize. 🌱
The Greening🌳🌱 Belize Initiative aims to restore 130,000 hectares of degraded land across the country, including 50,000 hectares of forest landscapes and 80,000 hectares within agro landscapes.
The signing of these Data Sharing Agreements represents the first step toward standardized data collection and strengthened 🤝collaboration, supporting Belize in meeting its national and international restoration commitments.
