Forest landscape restoration

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, 

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.

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 y la pérdida de biodiversidad».

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.

In the Northeast Asia sub-region, environmental pollution, transboundary sand and dust storms (SDS), agricultural expansion, deforestation, and overgrazing are growing challenges that are being further complicated by the impacts of climate change.

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 FLR in national mitigation efforts. 

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) continue to influence global development policy in the coming decade. Under SDG15, Target 15.3 calls to “combat desertification, restore degraded land and soil, including land affected by desertification, drought and floods, and strive to achieve a land degradation-neutral world” by 2030. As of May 2019, 122 countries committed to set national targets for a land degradation-neutral world (LDN).

The report summarizes the methodology and main outcomes of a national Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM) process to identify forest landscape restoration opportunities in Myanmar.
