Landscapes Restoration

With an estimated 20-30% of landmass in northern Nigeria degraded by desertification, deforestation and climate factors, the immediate goal of the ACReSAL Project is to restore degraded landscapes and lay the foundation for a long-term enabling environment for integrated climate-resilient landscape management in northern Nigeria.

ACReSAL is committed to restoring 1 million hectares of degraded land by 2030. This includes large-scale tree planting, shelterbelts, and agroforestry projects to combat desertification, contributing to the Federal Government of Nigeria’s commitment of restoring 4 million hectares of degraded land by 2030.
