The Peace Forest Initiative

▪️The Peace Forest Initiative is an initiative of South Korea to use ecological restoration as a peace-building process. 

▪️It aims at addressing the issue of land degradation in conflict-torn border areas and would go a long way in alleviating tensions and building trust between communities living there and between enemy countries in particular.

▪️A global initiative to promote peace through land restoration was signed  by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the Korea Forest Service (KFS).

▪️The initiative was launched at the UNCCD COP14 in New Delhi.
