On Chile’s Huapi Island, native forests have become fragmented, making the soils poorer and drier and leaving the population vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Now, thanks to the restoration efforts of Indigenous Peoples, native trees are making a comeback. Together with the Government of Chile and FAO, they are working to protect and restore native forests in a way that strengthens the resilience of the landscape and their livelihoods.
