Sessions at international events

The Forest and Landscape Restoration Mechanism (FLRM) often participates in international events and conferences with sessions that see the involvement and contribution of many FLRM team members.

These sessions provide an excellent opportunity to discuss important themes and issues regarding forest and landscape restoration and present lessons learned, share new tools or approaches and always attract large attendance.

Please find the recordings of past FLRM-led/co-led sessions below
