Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration
(Wanagama, December 2009)
Forested and de-forested areas in the world
20% of the world’s forests are still there, 80% has gone, but has the potential to be restored
GPFLR/WRI, 2009
Global Partnership on Forest Landscape RestorationStarted around 2005
International organisations: IUCN, WWF, PROFOR, UNFF, UNEP-WCMC, IUFRO, ITTO, ICRAF, CIFOR, FAO, CBD, CARE, ARC
UK Forestry Commission, US Forest Service Growing number of governments Growing number of individuals
Effectively restore the world’s degraded forest landscapes
Establish and improve relationships among resource managers, policy makers, environmentalists, researchers and other groups involved in forest landscape restoration
Encourage the development and use of innovative FLR approaches and methodologies
Promote global process of joint learning
Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration
Forest Landscape degradation
Production degradation Restoration
Forest landscape restoration
Restoration of degraded forest habitats, with:
Focus on human needs (food, fuel, recreation, etc)
Focus on production as well as on conservation
Focus on secondary forests, grazing lands, etc.
Forest Landscape Restoration
Maginnis, 2005:
A process that aims to regain ecological integrity and enhance human well-being in deforested or degraded forest landscapes
Multi-functional mosaic landscapes
Forest Landscape restoration: see the bigger picture

Always done with the people of the landscape
Joint analysis of landscape dynamics
Creating a common vision
Building scenarios
Making participatory plans
Joint action

Kick-off meetings to get to know each other, define learning sites and contacts, define learning priorities
May 2009: Indonesia June 2009: Rwanda (Great Lakes) October 2998: Brazil November 2009: England December 2009: Indonesia, Thailand January 2010: Netherlands
Increasing number of initial meetings
First FLW workshop on Bali
Indonesian restoration guidelines
Learning site descriptions to promote exchange
Physical landscape characteristics
Current land use
Causes ofdegradation
Vision and strategy
StakeholdersAnd their interests
Concrete Restoration activities
Biggest successes
Problemsencountered
Lessons learned
Lessons yetTo be learned
ParticipatoryLandscape design
Collaborativelearning
How will I benefit from the Learning Network?
Connect and being connected Getting to know others, and others to know you Source of information (articles, tools, addresses) Sharing experience (discussion, chat) Scaling up of experiences to policy level Give and receive advice Capacity development (online & face-to-face) Connect to research programmes Function of “broker” (persons, funding, research)
