A successful process to advance forest landscape restoration (FLR) needs to motivate, enable and resource its implementation. This brief offers a preliminary exploratory analysis of some of the range of policies that respond to each of these three requirements.
The first part of this document offers guidance to assess the development of new or existing inter-institutional coordination mechanisms (ICMs) for forest landscape restoration (FLR).
This report intends to identify the opportunities and barriers of introducing and scaling up of FLR into selected pilot landscapes of Ethiopia: the districts (or woredas used as a synonym throughout this document) of Sodo and Meket, located in SNNP and Amhara regions respectively.
Para que la restauración de paisajes forestales (RPF) sea sostenible y responda a las múltiples necesidades medioambientales y del desarrollo, es necesario que exista diálogo y coordinación entre los diferentes sectores, agentes e instituciones.
El Objetivo 15 de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) consiste en «proteger, restaurar y promover el aprovechamiento sostenible de los ecosistemas terrestres, la gestión sostenible de los bosques, la lucha contra la desertización, así como detener e invertir la degradación de los suelos
L’objectif de développement durable (ODD) n° 15 vise à : « Protéger, restaurer et promouvoir l’utilisation durable des écosystèmes terrestres, gérer durablement les forêts, lutter contre la désertification, stopper et inverser la dégradation des terres et la perte de biodiversité.
For forest landscape restoration (FLR) to be sustainable and responsive to multiple developmental and environmental needs, we need dialogue and coordination among sectors, actors and institutions.
This document aims to guide proponents and developers of forest landscape restoration (FLR) activities and programmes in the rapid estimation of FLR mitigation potential, alignment with national greenhouse gas (GHG) estimation processes and identification of opportunities to enhance the role of F
Within a landscape of overlapping ecological, social and economic priorities, there exists a fundamental need to balance the land use dynamics of natural resource management with environmental and livelihood considerations.
In 2011, the government of Germany and IUCN together launched the Bonn Challenge as a global commitment to bring under restoration 150 million hectares (Mha) of land by 2020. IUCN has developed the Bonn Challenge Barometer: a progress-tracking framework and tool to support pledgers in meeting th
Le Cameroun, à l’instar d’autres pays du Bassin du Congo, subit de plein fouet les effets environnementaux, sociaux et économico-dévastateurs des changements climatiques, généralement provoqués par la déforestation, la dégradation et la fragmentation des forêts.
Esta guía para invertir en bosques localmente controlados (IBLC) es producto de 11 diálogos internacionales que reunieron a más de 400 personas para discutir cómo llevar a cabo la IBLC.

A series of dialogues organised by The Forests Dialogue (TFD) between 2009 and 2012 on investing in locally controlled forestry (ILCF) was designed to help catalyse investments in LCF by sharing learning between rights-holder groups and investors; improving mutual trust based on an agreed inves
The Livelihoods and Landscapes Strategy (LLS) was a five-year program implemented by IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) and funded by DGIS (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands).
It is commonly claimed that forest tenure reform that provides rural people with rights to access and use of forest resources can contribute to improved forest management and poverty alleviation.
This paper examines how interventions intended to improve functionality and productivity of forested landscapes to improve livelihoods of the poorest populations, might actually yield co-benefits in terms of biodiversity conservation.
The Doi Mae Salong watershed in the north-west of Thailand is the headwater of the Mae Chan River, a tributary of the Mekong River. As such, it is an extremely important landscape for the economy of the region.
This paper focuses on interventions in the Benet landscape of Uganda which sought to improve the income opportunities for inhabitants through efforts to rehabilitate the degraded landscape.
This paper describes Livelihoods and Landscapes Strategy interventions in the Wassa Amenfi West Landscape in the western region of Ghana. The landscape extends over an area of about 120,000 ha. It is a mixed landscape with a variety of agricultural uses; the most important is cocoa farming.
This paper focuses on efforts to create value from non-timber forest products in the Acre region in the north-western part of the Amazon region in Brazil.
The Livelihoods and Landscapes Strategy Miyun project has generated important lessons about the process of working to improve landscapes and livelihoods in a watershed context. This paper documents and shares these lessons.
The aim of this manual is to strengthen the community of practitioners who are using an innovative range of visual techniques in dealing with conservation and development situations.
