ArticleFAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapAddressing local stakeholders’ priorities on the development process of action plans for forest landscape restoration in Atlantic Forest Biome, Brazil
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Forest and landscape restoration (FLR) goes beyond planting trees. Ecological and environmental principles guide restoration actions at the landscape level by integrating different land uses, reconciling protected areas with farming practices, and recovery of native vegetation. In the context of restoration planning, the local, social, cultural and economic aspects should be considered. Moreover, the involvement and engagement of key stakeholders from different sectors is also critical to ensure the success of restoration strategies and actions, as well as the identification of the motivational factors to restore degraded lands. This approach is part of the application of the Restoration Opportunity Assessment Methodology (ROAM) and was applied in in Espirito Santo State, Brazil that led to a FLR 10-year action plan. Several tools of ROAM were applied at different scales to generate information that supported decision makers in the formulation of public policies and implementation of restoration. The results of this work showed that the identification of key restoration success factors and barriers were crucial to mobilize and engage key stakeholders and define strategies and solutions that better address local demands and needs in the management of natural resource. Also, mapping the social landscape was essential in creating a larger movement to support restoration commitments. The main outcome was the development of a collaborative action plan aligned with the local reality and the commitments made by different actors. Moreover, the information generated had the potential to attract investment and finance opportunities to support the implementation of restoration actions at scale and to contribute to the state/national and international targets.

ArticleJournal articleParticipatory forest conservation, restoration, and sanitation in a resilient and resistant social-ecological system in Mexico
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The world continues the search for effective mechanisms to protect the natural heritage of forested landscapes. Mexico is among the most important forested and mega-biodiverse countries, with some 60% (62.6 million ha) of forests owned by communities, which operate as common property forest social-ecological systems (SES). Mexican forests are under varying natural and anthropic threats, but community collective action around forest management is the most important response for facing them. Here, we document experiences of participatory-adaptive forest management for conservation, restoration and sanitation in community forests. Combined methods were used, included: document review, participatory mapping, forest cover analysis, community workshops, key actor interviews and participant observation. Participatory forest management strategies by varying communities commonly used community resources, labor, cultural values, local traditional knowledge and governance institutions, both with and without sustained government support. The hundreds of voluntary conservation areas demonstrate that nature and people can coexist. As well, thousands of participatory forest restorations are based on cultural motivations and concerns for environmental legacies. Also, despite the growing bark beetle threat in temperate forests, large- scale participatory sanitation logging illustrates the opportunities to maintain forest health at the community level. A better understanding of approaches that improve resistance and adaptive capacity in forest SES, may help to design public policies for government and non-governmental interventions oriented to support and strengthen grassroots initiatives in Mexico and beyond. Lessons from bottom-up collective action examples can help to build a more sustainable future in comparable inhabited forests.

ArticleJournal articleAgroforestry systems: Conservation of biodiversity in Bahia - Brazil
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Biodiversity agroforestry systems are characterized as an integrated land use model for the purpose of forest, agricultural and livestock production for family subsistence, strategic systems for restoration and conservation of degraded environments. These provide a variety of environmental services that directly or indirectly promote benefits to humans and the environment. In Brazil, studies on agroforestry systems are currently focused on technical, biological and social rather than economic aspects. Faced with the intensification of agriculture, agroforestry systems represent a possible solution to obtain continuous production, combining conservation practices and improving the use of natural resources, within the premises of sustainability. This study aimed to evaluate the multi-tiered commercial agroforestry systems of family farmers in an area of Atlantic Forest in the Bahia state - Brazil, identifying the plant species and their uses. The species of greatest interest to family farmers were cataloged and through a floristic inventory, productive agroforestry systems were evaluated 118 species were identified (68.4% food, 14.5% medicinal, 13.2% wood). The values of the effect on the support service showed that biodiverse agroforestry systems do not significantly differ from the preserved forests. The analysis of the application of the principles of ecologically based agriculture made it possible to assess the existence of a productive differentiation and to verify that the growing diversification of production ensured a greater number of principles of ecologically based agriculture applied in the day-to-day activities of productive activities, thus safes play an important role in the food security of family farmers. The results found bring practical implications for the discussion of those production models on the restoration of ecological processes in the Atlantic Forest and the role they can play at the multifunctional landscapes of rural properties. Keywords: Agroforest systems, agroecological principles, tree species, biodiversity, family agriculture. ID: 3488444

Book (series)FAO journal恢复地球—未来十年
Unasylva 252 - 2020年1月第71卷
2022本期Unasylva杂志旨在展示森林景观恢复（FLR）的机会和进展，这些机会和进展能扩大恢复的规模，以实现"波恩挑战"及其他国家和国际承诺（可持续发展目标（SDGs），《生物多样性公约》(CBD）2020年后议程、《联合国防治荒漠化公约》（UNCCD）土地退化零增长、《联合国气候变化框架公约》（UNFCCC）下的《巴黎协定》），并满足2021-2030年联合国生态系统恢复十年的需求。 杂志涉及与各受众相关的主题：i) 与所谓的 "一切照旧 "做法不同的旗舰恢复倡议，这些旗舰倡议能输送更多的资金，更好地赋予当地利益相关者权力，并通过合作伙伴联盟提供更多的技术援助；ii) 可以扩展森林景观恢复的技术进步，由于不同的原因（低成本、适应性、与许多生态系统和环境的相关性、易于实施等），这些技术进步很有可能成为主流。iii) 利于恢复的因素，即协调、政策环境、资源、知识和能力，这些因素都为在当地采取行动创造了有利条件。 -

DocumentOther document中国的粮食和农业生物学多样性国家报告 2019
Also available in:
No results found.These country reports are prepared as a contribution to the FAO publication, The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture. The preparation of Country Reports provided an overview of existing information gaps and helped to establish a baseline information on biodiversity for food and agriculture. They also provided information on the role of biodiversity for food and agriculture in the provision of multiple ecosystem services. These country reports helped to address the following questions: • What is the state of the conservation and use of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, ecosystem services and sustainability? • What trends can be identified in the conservation and use of biodiversity for food and agriculture and in the effects of major drivers of change? • How can conservation and use of biodiversity for food and agriculture be improved and the contributions of biodiversity to food security and nutrition, ecosystem services, sustainability and the improvement of livelihoods of farmers, pastoralists, forest dwellers and fisher folk be enhanced?
