Ecosystem Restoration Communities (ERC) is a global, grassroots movement of earth restorers that is helping nature heal itself by replanting; restoring soil, water and food systems; and increasing local biodiversity on degraded land. 

ERC is rooted in the belief that community leadership is key to lasting, systemic change. This is why at more than 60 restoration communities in over 30 countries across six continents, ERC is empowering local people to become change-makers with the resources and support needed to ensure that ecosystem restoration initiatives succeed and receive the long-term, effective care needed to become functioning ecosystems that remain intact for generations.  

At every ERC the earth is being restored, wildlife and local livelihoods are returning, the planet is regreening, and climate change is being reversed.
