Commonland stands as a pioneering force in transformative landscape restoration, dedicated to fostering sustainable development. At the heart of their mission is the innovative approach of uniting businesses, communities, and nature to restore degraded ecosystems, contributing to global sustainability.

The organisation’s main focus revolves around regenerative practices and the restoration of landscapes that have experienced degradation. Commonland envisions a future where landscapes are not only restored but also thrive, providing essential benefits for both the environment and the communities intertwined with these ecosystems.

Commonland’s key goals include implementing sustainable and regenerative practices that go beyond traditional conservation methods. By uniting various stakeholders, including businesses and local communities, the organisation aims to create resilient landscapes that support biodiversity, improve ecosystem services, and contribute to the well-being of communities.

The structure of Commonland reflects a collaborative and inclusive approach. The organisation operates as a network that brings together diverse stakeholders, emphasising the importance of partnerships to achieve impactful results. This collaborative model allows for a more holistic and comprehensive restoration strategy.

In the realm of sustainable finance, Commonland plays a crucial role by promoting investment in landscape restoration projects. Their approach aligns with the principles of sustainable finance, emphasising the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in decision-making. By demonstrating the economic viability and positive impact of landscape restoration, Commonland encourages financial support for projects that contribute to both environmental and social well-being.

Commonland’s offerings extend beyond theoretical frameworks, as they provide practical tools and solutions for landscape restoration. These tools empower communities and businesses to actively engage in regenerative practices, fostering a sense of ownership and commitment to the restoration process. The organisation’s research focuses on refining and expanding these practical tools, ensuring their effectiveness in diverse landscapes and contexts.

Making holistic landscape restoration the new norm.

We collaborate with public and philanthropic funders, investors, financial institutions, and businesses to support long-term, large-scale landscape restoration programmes. Our funding partners contribute to different areas of our work: operations, activities in our landscapes, and regenerative business models. Our relationships with funders are always long-term and trust-based: in our experience, this is the only way to create meaningful change at scale.

Every contribution matters – big or small. We will carefully allocate your donation where it can make the most impact. Thank you for helping us and our partners to restore our home planet.
