"Go Green for Land Restoration" A People-Powered Global Advocacy Plan by Vijoriya Foundation
Go Green for Land Restoration is a grassroots advocacy initiative by Vijoriya Foundation aimed at raising awareness, mobilizing communities, and influencing policy for the restoration of degraded land across the globe.
Land degradation affects more than just soil—it threatens food security, water availability, livelihoods, and biodiversity. Through this campaign, we commit to protecting and restoring our land by aligning with the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030) and the UNCCD Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) goals and G20 Global Land Initiative.
🏞️ 30% of the Earth’s land is degraded — and it’s increasing.
🌾 Healthy land is vital for agriculture, climate resilience, and water cycles.
👩🌾 Marginalized communities, especially rural women and youth, are the most affected.
🌱 Every hectare restored creates jobs, sequesters carbon, and supports biodiversity.
