On November 3, 2021, Desert Leaves, Reforest, the Generalitat Valenciana and the Universitat Politècnica de València organized a day of knowledge transfer to share academic and technical advances with forest managers and technical staff in dryland areas of Spain. The event took place in buildings of the Generalitat Valenciana, with live online broadcasting. In the current scenario of policies, strategies and incentives for forest restoration, both from the national and international level, and from the public and private sectors, there is a convergence of, on the one hand, the natural regeneration of our forests and forest areas; and, on the other, biogeographical changes associated with climate change that generate doubts about how to approach actions related to the forests of the future. This symposium dealt with aspects related to this triple crossroads, with special emphasis on how restoration techniques can and should respond to these challenges.
