The Framework for Ecosystem Restoration Monitoring (FERM) platform has been developed for tracking progress of efforts to restore degraded ecosystems, in the context of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. The FERM enables transparent monitoring of ecosystem restoration progress by providing access to up-to-date information, tools and indicators. With these resources, people, communities, and countries can access and produce information that tracks and informs their own restoration efforts in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This monitoring and reporting on restoration progress supports effective and adaptive restoration actions, which help mitigate climate change and contribute to the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. 
This instructional video explores various aspects of the FERM platform. It shows users the types of available data, data sources, tools and provides examples for using the platform’s applications. Further, the video highlights the ways in which the FERM platform increases data transparency and promotes knowledge sharing through easy sharing of data and reports. Overall, this video introduces users to the platform, providing a brief overview of its many uses.
