The Satoyama Initiative is "a global effort to realise societies in harmony with nature", started through a joint collaboration between the United Nations University (UNU) and the Ministry of the Environment of Japan. The initiative focuses on the revitalisation and sustainable management of "socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes" (SEPLS), areas where production activities help to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem services in various forms while sustainably supporting the livelihoods and well-being of local communities.
