This document discusses the pitfalls and potential of implementing long-term integrated landscape approaches. It notes that global crises often affect people disproportionately and imposed external solutions can make issues worse. The document reviews 312 peer-reviewed articles from 1985 to 2020 on gender perspectives in land restoration studies in Ethiopia, finding that 64% were gender-blind, 33% were sex-disaggregated, and only 3% studied challenges women face in restoration. Integrated landscape approaches are presented as a way to incorporate multiple voices and knowledges through tools like participatory mapping to integrate scientific and local knowledge and support inclusive and spatial tools for integrated landscape governance.
