The Tree of Life Metaphor
Roots: Diverse knowledge systems
Trunk: Synthesis of knowledge into the national ecosystem assessment
Branches: Process of evidence-informed policymaking, strategy development and planning across different sectors
Leaves: Policies, strategies and plans enforced, implemented and translated into concrete actions
Fruits: Outcomes and impacts produced as a result of actions
Resilience to disturbances: Roots and trunk are the core of a tree to withstand challenges.
Nutrient circularity: Fallen leaves and fruits enrich the soil and provide nutrition to roots.
Exchange among trees: Trees are deeply connected to form a forest and rich ecosystem.
