Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileFostering linkages between sustainable wood supply and forest and landscape restoration in Asia and the Pacific 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Demand for wood and wood products within the Asia and Pacific region, and exports of wood products from the region, are growing, particularly through rising interest in the forest-based bioeconomy. Wood supply to meet this demand needs to be sustainable, to address climate change, biodiversity loss, poverty and economic development challenges. In the face of these developments, at the 36th Session of the FAO Regional Conference, Member States requested stronger work on the sustainable production and consumption of wood. Forest and landscape restoration (FLR) is also a high priority for the region: some 500 million hectares of land in the Asia and Pacific region is considered degraded and current national goals aim to restore at least 185 million hectares.Sustainable wood supply (SWS) from part of this restored land can contribute to FLR goals by regenerating and better managing natural forests, through large-scale and small-scale plantations and woodlots on degraded land, and by integrating trees in farming in agroforestry systems. This Issue Brief summarizes the deliberations of a RegionalDialogue on Integrating Sustainable Wood Supply and Forest and Landscape Restoration in Asia and the Pacific, held on 2 October 2023 in conjunction with the 30th Session of theAsia-Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC) in Sydney, Australia.The Dialogue found that enabling conditions for SWS and FLR are similar, providing opportunities to increase investment in FLR by producing wood in support of restoration goals. Realizing these opportunities will require actions in landscapes and along value chains resourced from public and private finance. Policymakers across the region can drive these actions through developing and implementing enabling policies, fostering collaborative learning, technical packages and capacity building, mobilizing finance to support all forms of SWS and FLR, and engaging small-scale actors in SWS and FLR.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideRestoring forest landscapes through assisted natural regeneration (ANR) - A practical manual 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Case studies and experiences with natural regeneration from the region have shown that natural regeneration significantly reduces the cost of restoration in areas that meet certain conditions. Native species that are adapted to the prevailing conditions re-establish on their own with some assistance, achieving accelerated growth in accordance with natural succession, leading to the recovery of native ecosystems. Restoration strategies based on natural regeneration also provide low-cost opportunities for conserving biodiversity and enhancing ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration and watershed protection. This manual describes procedures from almost 20 years of FAO experience with assisted natural regeneration (ANR) in the Philippines and more recently in Indonesia, Cambodia and Lao PDR. In each of these countries, the method was applied for different objectives and convincingly validated ANR’s cost effectiveness. There is an increasing recognition of the benefits and advantages of ANR in light of the ambitious global, regional and national forest restoration targets, and there are considerable opportunities to expand the application of ANR through various restoration related initiatives. It is hoped that this manual can serve as a field reference in guiding the application of ANR for forest restoration. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideMapping together: A guide to monitoring forest and landscape restoration using Collect Earth mapathons 2021
Also available in:
Forest and landscape restoration monitoring is an important component of a well-rounded restoration implementation strategy. This guide serves to assist stakeholders in monitoring tree-based restoration, with a focus on trees outside forests, such as trees on agricultural and pastoral landscapes and within cities and towns—using a Collect Earth mapathon approach.
