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.

Of wicked games, changing systems and destroying trust

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.

Learning together. Learning from you. That's the theme of this month's knowledge-packed newsletter.

Having visited you and your landscapes, our focus this year is on documenting learnings and sharing them.

Conversations about power and the launch of our new series of 'Landscapes in Practice' guides for people like you: landscape champions.

Landscapes in Practice is a new series of practitioner guides to facilitate implementation of the six core dimensions of lntegrated Landscape Management (ILM). In this introductory brief, we provide an overview of what ILM is – in particular, how we have approached the concept – and the reasons why it is needed.
