Participating Landscapes
As we develop Terraso, we work closely with a group of Co-Design landscapes who ground our efforts in the realities they face and provide feedback for the solutions we’re exploring. Our initial cohort began with about a dozen landscapes located around the world; this number will grow as we expand Terraso to support more regions and more landscape challenges.
Co-design landscapes

The Rupununi
The Rupununi Savannah encompasses 5000 square miles of grasslands, swamplands, rain-forested mountains and is Guyana’s most biologically diverse region.
Terai Arc
The Terai is a stretch of lowlands in the southernmost part of Nepal. This is the area with the highest biodiversity in the country.
Sacred Sierra
The Sacred Sierra is managed by ANEI, an organization made up of 700 producers from families belonging to 4 native communities (Arhuacos, Koguis, Kankuamos and Wiwas), and farmers from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and Serranía del Perijá in Colombia.
