WEBINARS on using the Restor platform for your restoration project

You need to get the word out on your restoration project to connect with collaborators, funders, and geo-relevant information. The Restor platform can help you with all three functions. By listing their restoration projects on the platform, ISTF members will gain visibility to both potential collaborators and funders. They will be able to explore site-specific ecological data for planning and monitoring of their projects. Restor, the International Society of Tropical Foresters, and Terraformation are teaming up to offer a training webinar (same content) on 4 occasions for different regions on how to load your restoration project on the Restor platform. Dates and times (find your time zone at https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html):

You can register for any session, regardless of your region.

To do ahead:
We ask all those who register to participate, to visit the RESTOR platform at Restor.eco and create an account at https://restor.eco/login/ BEFORE the session you will attend. Also familiarize yourselves with the website. This will allow us to devote the maximum time to helping you put your restoration project on the platform.

NOTE: Please have a mouse available to use for the webinar practice session. It is much easier to navigate the Restor platform with a mouse.
