Book (stand-alone)Promising cases of forest and landscape restoration in Asia and the Pacific
Based on the guiding principles of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration
2024Also available in:
No results found.Forest and landscape restoration (FLR) is gaining momentum through the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021–2030. National commitments for FLR are increasing under the three Rio conventions (UNFCCC, CBD, UNCCD), the Bonn Challenge, the New York Declaration on Forests, the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forest and Land Use, and the Forest and Climate Leaders’ Partnership. These restoration-linked targets and declarations at the global level also include countries in Asia and the Pacific, with a wave of regional-level FLR targets and initiatives such as the ASEAN Green Initiative, Landscape Partnership Asia and the Regional Strategy and Action Plan for FLR in Asia-Pacific. FLR ambitions and efforts on the ground are strong. Many different types of approaches, tools and innovative financing methods are being employed. Interest is also robust in upscaling successful FLR that can contribute to enhancing or maintaining the delivery of ecosystem services, addressing climate change and biodiversity loss, and promoting poverty alleviation, food security and economic development.In this context, the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, with support from the IUCN, has examined FLR experiences in the region to identify promising FLR cases in various country settings and ecosystem types. This publication presents 15 promising cases, selected from 150 projects, based on their alignment with the ten principles of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetRestoring and sustaining landscapes together: a regional programmatic framework for forest and landscape restoration to advance the United Nations decade on ecosystem restoration in Asia 2023

No results found.Several challenges and barriers exist for successful implementation of Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR), particularly for smallholders and communities. These include conflicts of interest, land tenure issues, developing viable FLR models, capacity gaps and low access to financing. Past efforts in the region have not always been optimal in terms of quality of restored landscapes, analysis of local context and inclusion of stakeholders, and valorizing and funding the multiple restoration benefits among others. The Regional Programmatic Framework is an essential step forward for framing tangible partnerships and actions to address these barriers and challenges, and thereby helping countries scale up and enhance their FLR initiatives and outcomes. -

No results found.Forests in the Asia-Pacific region provide vital ecosystem servicesin support of agriculture, food security and nutrition; as well as playinga critical role in climate-change mitigation and adaption. This vital roleis being rapidly diminished, owing to massive degradation of forestsand lands. In recent years, the landscape restoration approach hasgained momentum and offers enormous opportunities. However,reforestation efforts in the region have been modest, owing to ageneral lack of awareness, technical capacity, and viable strategies atthe national level to implement forest and landscape restoration (FLR).The project aimed to support four selected countries in the regionto restore degraded forestlands using a landscape approach throughthe adoption of FLR in national forest restoration strategies.
