It helps decision-makers identify the most effective places to restore forests and thereby deliver the highest benefits for climate and biodiversity, while also considering the cost of restoration. By integrating built-in environmental and economic data, WePlan-Forests allows users to quickly compare restoration options tailored to national priorities and resources without the need for technical expertise on geospatial data collection and processing, problem definition and conservation planning theory. \n\t<h2>How can I access it?<\/h2>\n\tTo explore areas of potential for forest restoration and natural regeneration, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weplan-forests.org\/planning_solutions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WePlan-Forests online tool<\/a> and select your country of interest. \n\t<h2>Impact stories<\/h2>\n\t<style>\n  \/* -- Layout -- *\/\n  .lfn-card-grid {\n    display: grid;\n    grid-template-columns: repeat(2, minmax(0, 360px));
