Come and be part of a global voice for wild plants and fungi
Fungi are crucial to nearly all life on Earth, but they are not given the recognition they deserve. Will you join our mission to change that?

Recover degraded land using a diversity of native plants.
2. Implement or participate in programmes for the effective restoration of degraded ecosystems and habitats, including to prevent or mitigate the existing drivers of degradation, prioritizing the use of genetically appropriate material of native species, enhancing and conserving soils, considering ecological criteria, associated fungal symbionts, pollinators and dispersers, and including species of conservation concern, as well as climate resilience, long-term commitment, innovative financing and adaptive management, ensuring that the programmes enhance biodiversity and human well-being and are informed, where possible, by traditional knowledge, with the free, prior and informed consent of the indigenous peoples concerned.
“The provenance of material used in ecological restoration is vitally important to ensure that the appropriate genetic diversity is used. Ecological restoration initiatives should follow best practice and not use plant material of non-local provenance, or local provenance from a limited number of genotypes.
Achieving and supporting extensive ecological restoration initiatives will require the mobilisation or refinement of conservation horticulture resources and skills, and developing or expanding existing wild plant propagation units, including nurseries and seed banks, where necessary. The availability of suitable planting material must be considered when planning restoration actions (e.g. seeds, seedlings, cuttings, whole plants, etc). These must be sustainably sourced, and it is important that sources of plant propagules are recorded. The principle of the ‘right plant in the right place’ underpins this Action.”
Restore 30% of all Degraded Ecosystems
“Ensure that by 2030 at least 30 per cent of areas of degraded terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine ecosystems are under effective restoration, in order to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, ecological integrity and connectivity.”
