ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

As part of WRI’s Food, Land and Water Program, the Land and Forest initiatives aim to conserve and restore forests and other natural landscapes for their vast benefits to people, nature and climate. We develop groundbreaking research, tools and global partnerships with civil society, governments and the private sector. Our work spans several initiatives and platforms, including our flagship Global Forest Watch (GFW), a free forest monitoring initiative that allows anyone to access globally consistent, near-real-time information about where and how forests are changing around the world; and Land & Carbon Lab, convened by WRI and the Bezos Earth Fund, to develop breakthroughs in geospatial monitoring to help governments, businesses and communities power solutions for sustainable landscapes.

ABOUT US:

Founded in 1982, World Resources Institute (WRI) is an independent, nonprofit global research organization that turns big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity, and human well-being. We are working to address seven critical challenges that the world must overcome this decade to secure a sustainable future for people and the planet: climate change, energy, food, forests, water, sustainable cities, and the ocean. WRI has a global staff of over 1,800 people with work spanning 60 countries. We have offices in Africa, Brazil, China, Europe, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Colombia and the United States, as well as a growing presence in other countries and regions.
The foundation of our work is delivering high-quality research, data, maps, and analysis to solve the world’s greatest environment and international development challenges and improve people’s lives. We work with leaders in government, business, and civil society to drive ambitious action and create change on the ground. Equally important, we bring together partners to develop breakthrough ideas and scale-up solutions for far-reaching, enduring impact.
