 So I'm gonna share my screen and take you through some slides of another app that we have developed at eCraft and this is the the regreening Africa app and basically This is an app that we've developed the building on what you just saw On the Africa tree finder. So with the Africa tree finder you can in the countries that it covers you can find suitable species For planting for different types of purposes as you saw for specific locations in the regreening Africa app We've designed an app that then allows you to to plan these interventions and then track the interventions on the ground So the idea here is that what we're doing is what we call assist the crowdsourcing for monitoring at scale and for those of you who have been on the on the whole call today, you will have you've probably heard Thomas Kraut they're talking about Sort of the bigger picture like in terms of it not being only about planting trees But also about land restoration in general So this is really what I'm going to be talking about right now and it's kind of around the recording and tracking restoration efforts And that includes tree planting it includes farmer managed natural regeneration and nursery establishment and availability of planting materials So those are the three modules in the app and Then I'll be linking it to work that we're doing with land health Overlaying the information that comes out of the app onto maps of land health indicators that allows us to look at restoration So in the tree planting module of the app, we basically users basically Can record trees that they're planting in their infarmer fields. So from this we can obviously then look at What types of trees are being planted we can determine the diversity of the trees planted And we can look at the performance of tree planting, which is really important. So this example here is from Rwanda Where with data submitted in 2020 alone? So only in the last few months where we have almost half a million trees planted as part of the re-greening Africa project which is funded by the EU and so In the app we not only can we look at the trees that have been planted But we can also calculate survival rates and we can look at what trees are being planted across different niches on farms So whether they're planted in woodlots home gardens in crop fields Internal boundaries external boundaries, etc. And we can also look at the survival rates within these niches and really determine The success of tree planting and where we have challenges and where we need interventions to improve performance And one thing here that you see from Rwanda in the tree planting is that We have mostly exotic species and relatively low species diversity at least in terms of the dominant species that are being planted So with this app we can address this and go back to implementing partners and stakeholders on the ground and Discuss how we can improve In on the plant tree planting in terms of diversification for example Also in the app the users delineate their their field boundaries and And then they count they have the number of trees planted the locations of the trees as you can see on the map here And we have them as I mentioned the survival of the trees So we have this not only have this information, but we have it in a spatially explicit way for each individual field Another example of the use of the app is the farmer managed natural regeneration or FMNR module this example is from Senegal and One of the things we notice here right away is that there's a lot more diversity in terms of FMNR than there is in tree planting in terms relative to the example so from Rwanda so here we see that a lot of the Most dominant species or most of the most dominant species are indigenous species So not exotic as we saw with the tree planting So that in itself is obviously an important insight and again with the FMNR Farmers record their field boundaries and that allows us to do assessments special assessments as well In addition, we have the nursery module where we track inventories Within their series of planting materials and but also performance and quality of Seeds and the seedlings that go into this process And the whole idea is to help The users of the app to ensure that farmers have access to quality planting materials and a wide range of species for tree planting And so of which of course is really critical for the success of restoration efforts In addition to the app itself, there's a data reporting system That's online and can be accessed by the users of the app where they can look globally at what's being collected So at the top here, we see the countries where the app is being Applied or used see Rwanda is a dominant one in this project And of course this app was developed as part of a project but it's available for anyone to use from the Google Play Store and Followed by Senegal and Kenya and if we click on Kenya for example here We then can go in and look at what types of interventions whether it's FMNR tree planting Etc and we get the information on number of institutions and farmers etc that have been doing these interventions on the ground when also Really important here as I mentioned in the beginning is how we can now link this information that comes from the app to Spatial assessments that we do on the ground So this is a map of Rwanda showing soil organic carbon at a meter at a resolution of 30 meters on the ground Which means that we can go down to the level of those individual polygons that you see it saw those farmer fields and Extract this information So this is based on models developed at e-craft over more than a decade of that a systematic data collection across the global tropics So it's based on a database with more than 200,000 soil samples from across the global tropics and with this data We can by combining the spatial assessments in the maps that you see an example of here We can apply the this this information for example for soil carbon monitoring and also to in the in climate neutrality goals And for setting restoration targets and not least of course for tracking restoration performance over time Also we gain critical insights into drivers of land degradation that allow us to more effectively target and design in the restoration the actual sort of options that we implement on the ground and one of the reasons one of the things that's really important for doing that is Understanding the interactions between different processes of for example land degradation here The example is with erosion prevalence again at a very high spatial resolution For the different countries and what included in the re greening Africa project and then on the right hand side You see solo organic carbon and by looking at the interactions between erosion and carbon for example We can determine and other processes We can determine What processes are driving carbon dynamics in these landscapes and that allows us to then target where we need to put our intervention So what processes in these systems? Do we have to somehow influence or tweak in order to obtain restoration targets for example So that's all on the re greening app back to you Vanya and feel free to contact us on the email address here on the slide.
