Faith4Land Restoration Actions

Mapping faith-led restoration projects and land stewardship worldwide

Introduction

This interactive platform maps faith-led restoration projects and land under faith stewardship worldwide. Data includes participants from the Faith4Land Masterclass, survey respondents from the 2024 G20 GLI Stocktake, and ongoing submissions from faith organizations.

All information is voluntarily reported and continuously updated. Global estimates suggest religious institutions control approximately 8% of habitable land worldwide, indicating significant potential for expansion beyond currently documented projects.
