Bioversity and APFORGEN launch a survey on seed and seedling sources in forest restoration

Many governments, civil society and private sector organizations across the world are working to restore forests and degraded landscapes. These initiatives need large amounts of tree seed and seedlings, either through planting or natural dispersal and recruitment.

The purpose of this survey is to collect information about

(1)        where and how restoration practitioners get tree seeds and seedlings

(2)        what problems they have in this process and why, and

(3)        how they think the availability of propagation material could be improved.

The results will be used to identify action needs and recommendations for countries and the international community on how to improve supply of tree seeds and seedlings supply, in order to help meet global and national targets for forest and landscape restoration.

It would really help us out if you could respond to this survey.

Kindly respond based on the most recent restoration project or programme that you have worked on, and where tree planting or sowing has already started.

Completing the survey takes approximately 15 minutes.

No questions are compulsory, but the more questions you respond to, the more helpful your responses will be for identifying recommendations based on the survey results.
