The aim of this workshop is to reflect on the Global Soil Week (GSW) 2021 research findings and propose next steps and perspectives for the GSW 2022-2024 and SEWOH Lab projects. These are to build on the basis of current communities’ challenges to access forest land and resources, and forest officers’ constraints to engage communities in forest conservation activities and sustainable management. About 30 participants are expected, including practitioners, civil society organizations and scientists.
