Healthy ecosystems are fundamental to climate-resilient landscapes. These landscapes provide multiple benefits, such as food, water, clean air, income, and recreation, to communities residing within them. Alongside other development activities in the landscape, it is essential to invest in strengthening this natural ‘ecological infrastructure’ by restoring forest cover and reintroducing biodiverse vegetation.

In Cambodia, a project financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) with the support of the Government of Japan through the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and Pacific, demonstrates how nature-based solutions can rehabilitate degraded forests, combat erosion, reduce flooding, and boost livelihoods.
