FAO Unveils 'AIM4NatuRe Initiative' to Enhance Global Ecosystem Restoration Monitoring.

International | Dated: 05 May 2025

In April 2025, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), based in Rome, Italy, launched the Accelerating Innovative Monitoring for Nature Restoration (AIM4Nature) initiative to improve global monitoring of ecosystem restoration across forests, wetlands, grasslands, marine ecosystems, and degraded farmlands.

🎯 Key Highlights:

  • - This four-year (2025-2028) initiative was launched with support of 7 million Great British Pounds (GBP), or approximately USD 9.38 million, from the United Kingdom (UK).
  • - Initial pilot projects will begin in Brazil and Peru, in collaboration with FAO’s Indigenous Peoples Unit, to incorporate traditional knowledge and biocentric practices.

💡 Other Important Facts:

  • (i) The initiative builds upon FAO’s AIM4Forests, utilizing advanced tools such as the Framework for Ecosystem Restoration Monitoring (FERM) to improve restoration monitoring and reporting efforts.
  • (ii) It directly supports Target 2 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which aims to restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030.
  • (iii) The initiative addresses data gaps identified by a Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) survey, revealing that 80% of countries lack the technical skills needed to track restoration.
