As part of our formal learning process, we are working together to draw out key messages and insights from each country – not just to close out the programme, but to support the next generation of Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) innovators and champions.

Integrated landscape management can feel abstract – but it comes alive in the field. This year, we've been revisiting our landscapes to see how ILM is taking shape in practice. Through honest conversations, collaborative reflection and some challenging questions, we've been exploring what’s working, what isn’t, and how teams are learning as they go.

Progress might require a meandering route in politically sensitive, ecologically important, and operationally challenging settings. Recent experiences from our landscapes in Latin America and the Caribbean illustrate how adaptive learning offers a way forward.

Can Integrated Landscape Management be a vehicle for peace? On a repeat visit to PNG, Kim Geheb contemplates the physical landscape scarred by violence, and the cultural and social landscapes that gave rise to this – but which might also be fertile grounds for the seeds of change.

Candid conversations can reveal surprising truths. Watch this short video to eavesdrop as ILM practitioners and funders debrief after a brainstorming session on the key ingredients for ILM implementation success.

On a learning mission to São Tomé and Príncipe, we got serious about games to challenge worldviews and create opportunities for dialogue.

The recent call to halt biodiversity loss by protecting half the planet has been hotly contested because of the extent to which people might be excluded from these landscapes. The authors of this paper argue that it is clear that incorporating landscapes that implicitly work for indigenous people is vital to achieving any sustainable targets. They examine an attempt to balance the trade-offs between conservation and development in Enonkishu Conservancy in the Maasai Mara, using a working landscape approach

From conflict to collaboration through inclusive landscape governance: in this new paper, James Reed and fellow authors describe an engagement and visioning experience in Northern Ghana that holds lessons for ILM practitioners in so many other landscapes.

One landscape, two jurisdictions and a visionary project that ends at the beginning: the GML project closes with resource-based working groups in Ghana’s Atiwa landscape holding action plans in their hands and empathy in their hearts.

As a kid, did you ever play the "broken telephone" game? The one in which you whisper something to one person who whispers it to the next and so on until a very different story comes back to you? At the Communications for ILM session during our Global Summit, we found the same result, though we're all no longer kids.
