Learn how the AlUla programme is moving from strategy to on the ground restoration action plan, governance, financing, community engagement, and monitoring. Attendees will take away replicable frameworks, tools, and lessons for scaling restoration in arid landscapes.
Description de la séance
This session distills AlUla’s end-to-end restoration journey: analysis of the current situation, baseline assessments and prioritization, restoration zoning, native-species propagation and planting, and soil rehabilitation, and long-term monitoring aligned with the IUCN Restoration standerds, international Principles & Standards for the Practice of Ecological Restoration, and 2nd Edition (SER), 2) Principles for Ecosystem Restoration to Guide the United Nations Decade 2021–2030. We highlight governance arrangements with RCU, partnerships with research and private-sector actors, sustainable financing instruments, and benefits for local livelihoods, heritage, and nature-based tourism. The discussion focuses on what worked, what didn’t, and how to adapt the model to other dryland contexts in West Asia and beyond.Organized by
