Ethiopia has made commitments to plant huge numbers of tree seedlings in the pledge to restore 15 million hectares of land by 2030 under the Bonn challenge. Ethiopia is also a party to the New York Declaration on Forests, the Pan-African Great Green Wall for the Sahel and Sahara Initiative (GGWSSI), and the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100). The REDD+ investment program (RIP) is restoring degraded lands through plantation development. The National Forest Sector Development Program (NFSDP) stipulates to serve as the general framework for the enhancement of sustainable forest management in the country over ten years, from 2016 to 2025. Most of the seedlings are planted under the banner of Forest Landscape Restoration – both inside and outside of forest areas.
