2025 GLF Landscape Leadership Camp in Asia

If we want to keep our landscapes healthy for current and future generations, we must embody and practice collaborative leadership that values people and their livelihoods, thriving ecosystems. To do this we must facilitate action that goes beyond business as usual. 

At the 2025 GLF Landscape Leadership Camp in Asia, you’ll find yourself immersed in sessions, discussions, hands-on activities and field trips – all carefully designed to help you navigate complex challenges, bring your landscape visions to life and collaborate across issues of finance, policy and implementation 

Across three days packed with workshops, dialogues and field visits, you’ll have the chance to build your expertise and craft strategies to bring back to your communities.

But it’s not just about learning: it’s also about building lasting connections. At the Landscape Leadership Camp, you’ll connect with fellow participants, leading experts and potential collaborators.

This is your chance to forge meaningful relationships, exchange ideas and join an Asia-wide network that will support you long after the program ends. 

If selected, you will receive the full agenda in due course.
