How Social Considerations Improve the Equity and Effectiveness of Ecosystem Restoration

Sara Lofqvist et al.

Summary: This article highlights the importance of considering social processes in ecosystem restoration and suggests ways to incorporate them into science and policy. Based on existing case studies, it is shown that projects aligned with local preferences and implemented through inclusive governance are more likely to achieve positive social, ecological, and environmental outcomes. By overlaying global restoration priority maps, population data, and the Human Development Index (HDI), the article demonstrates that approximately 1.4 billion people, mostly from low HDI groups, live in areas identified as high restoration priority. The article concludes with five action points for promoting equity-centered restoration in science and policy.

Ecosystem restoration job creation potential in Brazil

Pedro H. S. Brancalion et al.

Summary: This study aimed to understand and quantify the current and potential ecosystem restoration jobs in Brazil. The research found that restoration jobs are mainly concentrated in the Atlantic Forest in the southeast region, provided by organizations from the nonprofit and private sectors. The COVID-19 pandemic led to the termination of about 20% of restoration jobs, but restoration activities have the potential to create millions of job opportunities.

Limited effects of tree planting on forest canopy cover and rural livelihoods in Northern India

Eric A. Coleman et al.

Summary: Large-scale tree planting programs in Northern India have not shown significant increase in forest canopy cover or direct benefits to local communities. This suggests that expensive tree planting programs may not always achieve their desired environmental and economic outcomes.

The Anthropocene reality of financial risk

Beatrice Crona et al.

Summary: The financial services industry is well positioned to contribute to sustainable futures, but there is a cognitive disconnect in financial risk frameworks regarding environmental risks. Failure to consider investment externalities will impact climate and environmental change, leading sustainable finance initiatives astray. This has implications for society as a whole and the finance sector in meeting sustainability goals.

Initial Investment in Diversity Is the Efficient Thing to Do for Resilient Forest Landscape Restoration

Danny P. Nef et al.

Summary: Genetic diversity, quality and suitability of seeds and planting stock play a crucial role in the resilience of restored forest landscapes. The economic cost of integrating genetic diversity into restoration projects has been explored, showing that the benefits outweigh the costs in the long run. Despite initial cost increases in seed sourcing and species selection, the overall costs of restoration decrease substantially, making it a cost-effective and resilient approach.

Rooting Forest Landscape Restoration in Consumer Markets-A Review of Existing Marketing-Based Funding Initiatives

Ennia Bosshard et al.

Summary: Forest landscape restoration (FLR) is crucial globally to address social and environmental issues caused by landscape degradation and deforestation. Despite the recognition of the importance of restoring biodiversity and ecological functioning, there is a gap between political commitments and on-ground actions. Market forces can be transformed to have a positive influence on land use change, providing funding and incentives for FLR. Current eco-marketing initiatives mainly focus on funding tree-planting projects, highlighting the need for strong safeguards and governance to ensure a balanced approach to FLR interventions.
