  • Assisted natural regeneration for tropical forest and landscape restoration in the Philippines

    Open AccessTomiwa V Oluwajuwon, Robin L Chazdon et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2025

    Forest degradation and deforestation in the rural uplands of the Philippines threaten biodiversity, ecological functions, and local livelihoods. To address these issues, various Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) initiatives have been introduced, including Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR)—a set of low-cost interventions aimed at accelerating natural recovery and enhancing ecological functionality in degraded forest landscapes. However, imp…

  • Unravelling Brazil's approach

    Open AccessAurélio Padovezi, Alice Ludvig et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2025Referencias: 53

    Social Innovative - Forest and Landscape Restoration (SI-FLR) describes a process in which social innovation (SI) drives forest and landscape restoration (FLR), improving local livelihoods and delivering nature's contributions to people. This paper reveals policy gaps hindering SI-FLR approach in Brazil and offers recommendations to leverage its advancement, incorporating insights from the Brazilian context and international best practices and ex…

  • Native seed collector networks in Brazil

    Open AccessAurélio Padovezi, Cristina Adams et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    To investigate whether and how Social Innovation (SI) can contribute to transformative change, we explored nine Native Seed Collectors Networks (NSCNs) in Brazil. Employing Social Network Analysis, we delved into the organisational structure of four NSCNs. Additionally, we identified five instances of social innovations (SIs) using the guiding questions of the Social Innovation—Forest and Landscape Restoration (SI‐FLR) framework. These networks, …

  • Experiências de governança da restauração de ecossistemas e paisagens no Brasil

    Open AccessRobin L Chazdon, Rafael B Chaves et al.ARTICLEEstudos Avançados2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 12

    O Brasil tem uma longa história de políticas, pesquisa e prática de restauração de ecossistemas degradados. A Década da Restauração de Ecossistemas das Nações Unidas (2021-2030) foi lançada com o principal objetivo de prevenir, cessar e reverter a degradação de ecossistemas em todo o mundo. Neste artigo, descrevemos algumas experiências no Brasil e ilustramos como elas podem contribuir para o cumprimento desses objetivos. As ações de restauração …

  • The cost of restoring carbon stocks in Brazil's Atlantic Forest

    Open AccessPedro H S Brancalion, Joannès Guillemot et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021

    Knowing which restoration approach provides the best returns on investment for accumulating carbon is essential to foster restoration planning, financing, and implementation. Here, we explored the cost‐effectiveness and drivers of aboveground and soil carbon accumulation in restored forests across an agricultural landscape of Brazil's Atlantic Forest. The recovery of aboveground and soil carbon stocks, as well as the implementation and land oppor…

  • The political ecology playbook for ecosystem restoration

    Open AccessTracey Osborne, Samara Brock et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2021Citada por: 17Referencias: 39

    Restoration should address underlying causes of degradation. • The Playbook addresses political-economic perspectives within specific contexts. • Ten principles address how to achieve resilient and equitable ecosystem restoration. • Local and landscape processes are intricately linked to national and global scales. • Restoration aims to achieve ecologically, socially and economically just landscapes. The urgency of restoring ecosystems to improve…

  • Global priority areas for ecosystem restoration

    Open AccessBernardo B N Strassburg, Steven L Slattery et al.ARTICLENature2020

    Extensive ecosystem restoration is increasingly seen as being central to conserving biodiversity 1 and stabilizing the climate of the Earth 2 . Although ambitious national and global targets have been set, global priority areas that account for spatial variation in benefits and costs have yet to be identified. Here we develop and apply a multicriteria optimization approach that identifies priority areas for restoration across all terrestrial biom…

  • Fostering natural forest regeneration on former agricultural land through economic and policy interventions

    Open AccessRobin L Chazdon, David Lindenmayer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Under suitable conditions, deforested land used for agricultural crops or pastures can revert to forest through the assisted or unassisted process of natural regeneration. These naturally regenerating forests conserve biodiversity, provide a wide array of ecosystem goods and services, and support rural economies and livelihoods. Based on studies in tropical and temperate forest ecosystems, we summarize cases where natural regeneration is occurrin…

  • A Policy‐Driven Knowledge Agenda for Global Forest and Landscape Restoration

    Open AccessRobin L Chazdon, Pedro H S Brancalion et al.ARTICLEConservation Letters2017

    The global restoration movement is gaining momentum. International and national leaders are demonstrating unparalleled political will for achieving ambitious targets. However, the knowledge base for implementing large‐scale forest and landscape restoration (FLR) needs further development. Besides application of scientific and local knowledge, a broad understanding of the social, economic, and environmental context in which this knowledge is being…

  • Ecological restoration success is higher for natural regeneration than for active restoration in tropical forests

    Natural forest recovery is an effective ecological alternative to tree planting in tropical forests under certain conditions.

  • Natural regeneration as a tool for large‐scale forest restoration in the tropics

    Open AccessRobin L Chazdon, Manuel R GuariguataARTICLEBiotropica2016

    A major global effort to enable cost‐effective natural regeneration is needed to achieve ambitious forest and landscape restoration goals. Natural forest regeneration can potentially play a major role in large‐scale landscape restoration in tropical regions. Here, we focus on the conditions that favor natural regeneration within tropical forest landscapes. We illustrate cases where large‐scale natural regeneration followed forest clearing and non…

    We present a historical overview of forest concepts and definitions, linking these changes with distinct perspectives and management objectives. Policies dealing with a broad range of forest issues are often based on definitions created for the purpose of assessing global forest stocks, which do not distinguish between natural and planted forests or reforests, and which have not proved useful in assessing national and global rates of forest regro…
