• Estimates of the amount of land available for forest landscape restoration (FLR) activities range from 350 to 850 million ha.
• The Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration identifies three main principles which characterise FLR:
• 1. Restoration of a balanced and agreed-upon package of forest functions;
• 2. Active collaboration and negotiation among a mix of stakeholders; and
• 3. Working across a landscape.
• Restored forest landscapes may include areas protected for watershed management and nature conservation, well-managed commercial plantations, tree buffers or strips along rivers to protect against flooding and erosion, agroforestry systems, and planned community development.
• Restored forest landscapes can provide a range of benefits such as employment opportunities, a source of timber for forest industries and local communities, increased habitats for animals and plants, a secure and high-quality supply of water, and recreation and tourism opportunities.
