New IUFRO-WWF Report on Forest Landscape Restoration

Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration <https://www.iufro.org/typo3temp/assets/_processed_/8/d/csm_2020_11_20_WWF_I UFRO_FLR_Policy_Study-cover_39715b07a1.jpg> Beschreibung: https://www.iufro.org/typo3temp/assets/_processed_/8/d/csm_2020_11_20_WWF_IU FRO_FLR_Policy_Study-cover_39715b07a1.jpgThe time is now to make forest restoration (FLR) at scale a success. This study seeks to better understand enabling governance and economic factors that can inform FLR implementation, based on sound evidence gathered from diverse contexts. Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration: The Roles of Governance and Economics. Full Report with Case Studies Published by WWF-Germany, November 2020 Author: Stephanie Mansourian, environmental consultant and Deputy Coordinator of the IUFRO Task Force on Transforming Forest Landscapes for Future Climates and Human Well-Being WWF and IUFRO have come together to push the forest restoration agenda forward using our combined scientific, policy and field implementation expertise. Both of our organizations have been exploring lessons learned in FLR (IUFRO FLR Snapshot and WWF FLR Field Experiences) to understand what works and what doesn't as a basis for informing future implementation. The purpose of this report is to identify the enabling factors at the national or subnational scale (including specifically governance and economic factors) that have motivated the initiation of forest restoration, that have enabled its implementation at scale, and that are key to sustaining it. It reviews case studies of 10 locations that have scaled up forest restoration (Bhutan, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kenya, Madagascar, Viet Nam, the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and Sahel, and Brazil's Espírito Santo State) in order to identify possible enabling factors related to governance and economics and thereby to guide future FLR interventions.

WATCH NOW ONLINE: Seminar with MATT HANSEN: Global forest monitoring using satellite data

by Henrik Hartmann

Dear all, please note that the International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality, is organizing a series of online seminars. These seminars will take place as online web seminars in regular intervals (6 to 8 seminars per year). Our kick-off meeting took place on Nov 17 and the recording is now available on the IUFRO youtube channel: http://youtu.be/ya8XlQBS6DQ <http://youtu.be/ya8XlQBS6DQ> *MATT HANSEN*, University of Maryland, author of the *GLOBAL FOREST WATCH* *Global forest monitoring using satellite data* _Abstract_: Earth observation data enable the monitoring of forest extent and change from national to global scales. Consistent processing of time-series images has made possible the operational production of global tree cover extent, loss and gain products. However, attribution of dynamics in the context 1) reference state, for example forest type, 2) change factor, for example fire or logging, and 3) outcome, for example land use type or natural recovery, is more challenging. In addition to mapping, the requirement to perform robust sample-based analyses to report on all themes is underappreciated. This talk will review our work on characterizing forest dynamics at the global scale using multi-source satellite imagery, including mapping and sampling, in the context of current operational versus future aspirational capabilities. If you are interested in contributing to the seminar series and/or have suggestions for additional speakers, please contact us at: treemortnet(a)gmail.com Visit us at: https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/ https://www.tree-mortality.net/ -- --- Dr. (habil.)
