Concluding Remarks & Thanks - TerraFund Representative 

Every champion was given the chance to connect with members of the TerraFund team individually during the face-to-face workshop, receiving tailored support throughout. In this intimate environment, they could ask questions and offer further insights. The champions were also offered one-on-one sessions with the TerraFund team, particularly focusing on mastering the Flority app and utilizing Greenhouse as well as getting any support with regards to their project. TerraFund's implementing partners emphasized the importance of MRV in landscape restoration efforts. Gratitude was extended to the restoration champions for their present and ongoing dedication and contributions for restoring their degraded landscapes.
