Blue Zone – Restoration Pavilion

Our collective future depends upon our ability to restore the Earth: our common land. Commonland is a not-for-profit that brings people together to transform degraded landscapes into thriving ecosystems, economies and communities. Our holistic approach to landscape restoration, the 4 Returns Framework, focuses on generating 4 returns for all landscape stakeholders: return of inspiration, social return, natural return, and financial return. With this approach, anyone can work with nature and their community to restore their local landscape within one generation.
