Priority landscapes for tree-based restoration in Rwanda

These priority maps highlight landscapes where the promotion of tree-based restoration practices is expected to yield higher benefits compared to possible interventions in non-priority landscapes. It is important to note that the priority maps created should not be considered as final, but as part of the process in identifying intervention areas for tree planting in Rwanda. Key further steps in prioritization include stakeholder consultations to incorporate their perspecives and field observations to further define the most adequate interventions.
