This document outlines strategies for realizing a global restoration movement. It notes that 48% of forests and 33% of agricultural soils are degraded. Restoration of forests, agroforestry, and sustainable agriculture/farming can help restore degraded land and provide benefits like improved water, air, biodiversity, carbon storage, wood/forest products, livelihoods, and food/soil fertility. Case studies from countries like China, Niger, Latin America show restoration successes at large scales. Strategies to scale up restoration include engaging stakeholders, developing landscape-level scaling strategies, mobilizing finance through risk capital and debt finance, monitoring progress, and building strategic partnerships.

30. The Global Partnership on Forest/Landscape
Restoration was launched by the UK, IUCN and
WWF at FAO COFO in 2003. The GPFLR works
to:
1. Build support for forest restoration with key
decision makers, at the local and international
level; and
2. Provide information and tools to strengthen
restoration efforts around the world.

• A methodology exists to help
develop scaling strategies at
various scales
• ROAM currently consists of
six main components:
1. Stakeholders & stock taking
2. Geospatial mapping
3. Economic analysis
4. Carbon analysis
5. Restoration Diagnostic
6. Financial analysis
2. SCALING STRATEGIES

• ROAM Results in Rwanda:
– Active national cross-sector
partnership
– Priority landscapes identified
and partnerships launched
– Two national parks
designated
– New domestic funding
window on restoration at
FONERWA
– Improved quantity, quality
and diversity of seeds at the
Tree Seed Center

Movement building: increase focus on the people
and entities that will do the restoration and develop
channels of communication and learning,
resource mobilization to action.
