‘Sowing and harvesting water’
Efforts to restore Peru's megadiverse Andean Forests are rapidly growing. While ecological determinants for restoration success are well known, knowledge on the socio‐economic and governance conditions that allow for the success of ecological restoration using native species is scarce. (Appendix ) Using a multi‐stakeholder approach, this paper analyses the motivations, preferences, success factors and governance models for effective ecological re…
Strategy games to improve environmental policymaking
Key challenges for governing forest and landscape restoration across different contexts
The Global Forest Transition as a Human Affair
Forests across the world stand at a crossroads where climate and land-use changes are shaping their future. Despite demonstrations of political will and global efforts, forest loss, fragmentation, and degradation continue unabated. No clear evidence exists to suggest that these initiatives are working. A key reason for this apparent ineffectiveness could lie in the failure to recognize the agency of all stakeholders involved. Landscapes do not ha…
The contributions of Indigenous Peoples and local communities to ecological restoration
Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLC) are affected by global environmental change because they directly rely on their immediate environment for meeting basic livelihood needs. Therefore, safeguarding and restoring ecosystem resilience is critical to support their well‐being. Based on examples from the literature, we illustrate how IPLC participate in restoration activities maintaining traditional practices, restoring land degraded by ou…
Global restoration opportunities in tropical rainforest landscapes
Assessment of socioenvironmental benefits and feasibility identifies priority areas for restoring global tropical rainforests.

Governing restoration
Communal management as a strategy for restoring cloud forest landscapes in Andean Ecuador
When is a forest a forest? Forest concepts and definitions in the era of forest and landscape restoration
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…
‘Bad for the penguins … because they need ice and that to live on’
Environmental policies and practices have maintained a high status internationally, nationally and locally, but limited literature relates to the perspective of social disadvantage in England, with a particular under-representation of young people. The research presented in this paper has been driven by the supposition that a lack of knowledge and research into the views of socially deprived young people, and a lack of engagement with them at a p…
