Biografía

Stewart Maginnis ha trabajado durante más de 35 años en el ámbito del desarrollo sostenible y la conservación de la biodiversidad. Ha vivido largos períodos en Tanzania, Sudán, Ghana y Costa Rica, donde llevó a cabo trabajos de conservación sobre el terreno. Lideró el desarrollo y la promoción de la restauración de paisajes forestales (FLR), una de las primeras Soluciones basadas en la Naturaleza diseñadas con este propósito, a la cual más de 60 países han comprometido más de 210 millones de hectáreas en el marco del Desafío de Bonn.
