Mapping your Communion Forest activities: RESTOR

This page gives you all the information you need to put your Communion Forest initiative on the map!

The Communion Forest is partnering with Restor, an organisation working to advance restoration by bringing together a global network of actors for the exchange of data, funding, and local knowledge.

Restor provides a powerful mapping tool that can help anyone across the world map their ecosystem conservation, protection and restoration initiatives. This is the tool we have chosen to map Communion Forest activities. We warmly encourage parishes and dioceses throughout the Anglican Communion to use Restor to map and share your Communion Forest activities.

Testimony by an Anglican Communion user

Restor has proven to be an invaluable asset in my environmental endeavors. The platform’s capacity to visualize and analyze ecological data at various scales has been instrumental in my work. I am deeply grateful to the Communion Forest for introducing me to Restor. It has facilitated a profound connection with like-minded individuals and organizations, such as ERS and Plant a Tree Planet, who share a similar commitment to environmental stewardship. This platform empowers environmentalists to diagnose the pressing challenges facing our planet and collaboratively develop strategies for restoration. I wholeheartedly recommend Restor to fellow environmental advocates as a crucial tool for understanding the trajectory of climate change and driving collective action for the preservation of our natural world.
