Resilience in East African Landscapes (REAL):

Identifying critical thresholds and sustainable trajectories – past, present and future

The REAL project involves 7 full participant research centers in Europe and 9 international associate partners. REAL is funded by the European Commission through a Marie Curie Initial Training Network.

The aim of REAL is to provide a longer-term historical perspective on human-environment interactions to enable future long-term sustainable use of East Africa’s fragile environment and resources. Together we will focus on the temporal, spatial, and social dynamics of human-landscape interactions in East Africa over the last millennium.
