Synopsis (short abstract) As the initial funder of the Forest and Landscape Restoration Mechanism (FLRM), the Korea Forest Service has consistently supported the implementation of forest and landscape restoration (FLR) activities in Lebanon since 2014 and has agreed to extend its financial support to 2025.The FLRM projects in Lebanon mainly aim to step up restoration efforts by establishing and strengthening an enabling environment focused on pilot activities that apply suitable FLR approaches. These are designed to contribute to the achievement of national and global restoration targets as set out by the nationally determined contributions (NDCs), the Bonn Challenge, Aichi Targets and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

    Book (stand-alone)
    The road to restoration: A guide to identifying priorities and indicators for monitoring forest and landscape restoration.
    Revised version
    2019
    Also available in:
    This guide walks practitioners through seven questions to help them make decisions regarding restoration monitoring. First, practitioners are asked to determine their restoration goals, land use and barriers to sustainability. These choices are filtered by constraints and priorities, so the practitioner will develop the indicators needed to setup their monitoring framework. It provides a framework for identifying indicators. Indicators are value laden measures of development performance designed to measure and calibrate progress. Environmental indicators are used to provide synthesized knowledge on environmental issues, and to highlight the extent of environmental trends. They also help to reduce complexity, provide important links between science and policy, and help decision-makers to provide guidance on environmental governance. An indicator framework can provide a management tool to help countries develop implementation strategies and allocate resources accordingly to reach restoration goals. Tracking progress with indicators can act as a report card to measure progress towards restoration and help ensure the accountability of all stakeholders for achieving the goals. The guide uses country case studies to show how a practitioner could answer the questions, offering a menu of potential indicators for measuring progress that other monitoring practitioners might find useful. Next, it highlights the different types of data that can feed into creating an indicator framework, depending on resource constraints and information needs. Some restoration programs may require fewer, cost-effective indicators that are collected locally. Other programs, may be able to integrate small, locally collected data with big data from satellite imagery and social media.

    Potential areas of landscape restoration interventions within and around refugee camps of northern part of Cox’s Bazar South forest division (2018) 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Geographic locations of potential restoration activities were identified throughout Cox’s Bazar South Forest Division for restoring degraded landscapes and supporting vulnerable host and refugee communities. The areas were identified by analyzing the land cover categories in February 2018, considering land degradation between February 2017 and February 2018, and taking into account suitability analysis for six restoration activities for three zones – inside the camps (Zone A), one km buffer around the camps (Zone B), and within one to five km around the camps (Zone C). The activities are: • Land stabilization, • Land restoration, • Forest restoration, • Afforestation / reforestation, • Seedling distribution and • Habitat restoration Land degradation was determined by differences in Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values using Sentinel 2 multispectral 10m images with maximum cloud cover of 10 percent. Suitability analysis was conducted considering different factors (e.g., elevation, elephant route, road, river, flood occurrence, etc.) having implication for proposed restoration activities.

    African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100) Programme
    Access to funding and technical assistance for forest and smallholder farm producers and enterprises to accelerate restoration-based value-added innovation, with focus on Africa
    2024
    Also available in:
    The African forest landscape restoration initiative (AFR 100) is a partnership between 34 African countries committed to restoring at least 100 million hectares of degraded land by 2030. The participating countries have committed a total of 129.5 million hectares for restoration. This four year programme, led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the government of Germany with a budget of 40 million, will support the ambition of AFR100. It will help accelerate restoration and value added innovation by providing local communities, including smallholder forest and farm producer organizations, and Indigenous Peoples, with direct financial and technical assistance. It will strengthen the governance capacity of local communities and support them to increase their capacity to monitor and communicate restoration results and share lessons Learn, it will also help create restoration-based businesses and green jobs, improve livelihoods and develop resilience to climate change in selected landscapes in AFR 100 countries. FAO is seeking expressions of interest from organizations interested in collaborating on this programme.
