IUCN provide short summaries of NbS being successfully integrated on the ground, including:

  • Agroforestry in Rwanda enabling people to send children to school
  • Integration of shrimp farming with mangrove protection and management in Viet Nam
  • Conservation agricultural providing food security in Mozambique
  • Forest landscape restoration in Malawi with information disseminated by a radio programme
  • Stabilisation of roads in Nepal by planting broom grass and bamboo
  • Re-establishment of traditional grazing practices in Jordan has revived wildlife, increased fodder production and saved herders money
  • 36 coffee producers in the Brazilian Cerrado are planting trees, restoring degraded land and shifted to organic farming in order to make production more sustainable
