This document provides guidance, information and evidence about how forest landscape restoration (FLR) can accelerate progress towards achieving the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, tackling the current challenges of maintaining a balance of land productivity and ecosystem integrity. The main objective is to increase awareness and demonstrate how the planning and implementation of FLR ambitions, especially under the Bonn Challenge and through the application of the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM), can translate into concrete and reportable contributions to the goals and strategic actions set out in countries’ National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs).
This publication was first posted online in a working paper version as information document CBD/COP/14/INF/18 at the 14th meeting of the Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, in 2018.
