The research project aims to assess the effectiveness of ecosystem-based forest landscape restoration initiatives under land use, land cover and climate change in the Congo Nile Crest Agro-Ecological Zone, Rwanda. Through a comprehensive methodology employing GIS, remote sensing, and field surveys, the study will analyze changes in vegetation cover over time and tree density, assess indicators such as biodiversity conservation and socio-economic impacts, and identify key factors influencing restoration success. Aligned with national policies and initiatives, the project aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for enhancing restoration efforts. Anticipated outputs include first-hand information, peer-reviewed scientific papers, technical reports, documentation of attitudinal changes, and participatory restoration plans. The project targets benefit for local communities, government agencies, NGOs, and the research community, contributing to increased awareness, policy influence, and community empowerment for sustainable ecosystem restoration.
