In this second episode of  #WorldForestVoices, we host two inspiring young forest and landscape restoration change-makers - Analí Bustos from Argentina and Eva Makandi from Kenya - who are transforming the livelihoods of their communities through forest ecosystem restoration-based approaches.

Both winners of the Global Landscapes Forum Restoration Stewards programme and Anali a winner of the WFC youth forest change-maker competition, shared with us their personal journey into forestry and forest landscapes restoration. They then share stories of how they transformed their curiosity, passion and plans to on-the-ground restoration projects to address some of the important forest ecosystem and landscape-related challenges in their communities.

They also share the strategic role of forest-science-policy-practice communication events and multi-stakeholder fora in moving from plans to action.  

Finally, the guests reflect on some of the challenges youth and young changemakers have to face today and share  pieces of advice to the youth who intend to transform their ecosystems and community’s livelihoods and recommendations to higher stakeholders on supporting youth action.

Listen and enjoy the voices of people and forests!
