Natural regeneration in the context of integrated landscape management
- 1. Natural regeneration in the context of integrated landscape management: The potential of landscape initiatives as vehicles for scaling up natural regeneration Abigail K. Hart The Role of Natural Regeneration in Large-scale Forest Landscape Restoration: Challenge and Opportunity 19-21 November 2014
- 2. Outline 1. Brief intro to integrated landscape initiatives 2. What it would take to make the case for natural regeneration within landscape approaches 3. What is might look like to incorporate natural regeneration into landscape initiatives 4. Considerations for moving toward a global partnership 5. Potential ways to link to landscape initiatives through the Landscapes for People, Food and Nature Initiative
- 4. Integrated landscape management 1. Shared or agreed management objectives. 2. Practices are designed to contribute to multiple objectives. 3. Interactions are managed to realize synergies or to mitigate trade-offs. 4. Dialogue, planning, negotiating and monitoring processes are in place. 5. Markets and public policies are shaped to achieve landscape objectives.

- 14. What are the barriers to adopting natural regeneration practices? ● Unclear land tenure ● Invasive species ● Demand for high-quality germplasm ● Lack of knowledge on managing naturally regenerated areas ● Lack of knowledge on applications for multiple use and mixed systems
- 15. Who should be engaged? Groups with clear incentives for natural regeneration Groups which manage critical parts of the landscape Stakeholders who can create incentives for natural regeneration Groups which can provide provide information and build capacity on natural regeneration Groups with incentive have information and capacity Management power is paired with appropriate incentives Often in the landscape Often outside of the landscape
- 16. Credit: Google Earth Moving toward a global partnership on natural regeneration How can natural regeneration contribute to solutions for some of the biggest challenges? ● Food security and food sovereignty ● Sustainable energy/biomass production ● Climate change
- 17. Credit: Google Earth Moving toward a global partnership on natural regeneration Clarifying the policy implications of natural regeneration for: ● Conservation ● Climate change ● Public lands ● Land tenure
- 18. Credit: Google Earth Moving toward a global partnership on natural regeneration Challenges for the group: ● Already exploring examples of restoration in diverse socio-political settings – willing to test and learn from ecologically diverse examples? ● Clarify incentives for natural regeneration for different stakeholder groups and different land tenure regimes ● Transparent about the agendas of your organizations in promoting natural regeneration and how these interests may or may not align with stakeholders at other scales
- 20. Opportunities to connect with LPFN ● Providing technical information for diverse stakeholders ● Training courses and modules ● Start a learning landscape network for natural regeneration or work through existing networks to test ideas

- How can we think of natural regeneration as one of a set of possible interventions that could be scaled up within landscape initiatives?
- What regulations and incentives would be needed at the policy level for natural regeneration to be a logical choice for these stakeholders?
- Land degradation is a major priority for landscape initiatives – which we have seen as a result of a set of continental review studies. This particular graph is from Africa but reducing land degradation ranks high for all of the continents we’ve surveyed so far. How can we tap into these interests at the landscape level to find opportunities for scaling up natural regeneration?
- If we want to understand the how to scale up natural regeneration on a large scale, it’s not enough to understand how and where it could be implemented at a coarse resolution or ecosystems or biomes. Landscapes are increasingly the scale at which management practices are being planned and implemented, for a number of reasons – Fine grain ecological variation, over an area in which diverse stakeholders can reasonable collaborate on management policies and practices. Therefore, it’s worth looking at some of the niches in a landscape considering where natural regeneration could logically and economically fit into a landscape approach. Although the goal is large scale restoration, management decisions are often easier to understand, negotiate and plan at the landscape scale When we talk about natural regeneration as a complement to other reforestation and restoration strategies, do we understand the other options and the range of opportunities and incentives that actors have for choosing the management strategies that they implement?
- What are the goals of the stakeholders that manage these different components of the landscape
- What incentives exist for them to implement natural regeneration?
- What regulations and incentives would be needed at the policy level for natural regeneration to be a logical choice for these stakeholders?

- Landscape initiatives already link multiple sectors and stakeholder groups that could promote the scaling up of natural regeneration in their landscapes – they are also the same groups that would be able to identify the barriers and points of resistance to natural regeneration as a restoration strategy, as well as those who could work together to establish partnerships at the landscape level for implementing natural regeneration in the areas under their purview. In fact, what landscape initiatives seem to do best is spur new partnerships around particular issues of relevance to stakeholders making them a promising vehicle for advancing natural regeneration where it is a logical and economical choice for participants.

- Action and implementation in the landscape is enacted in the landscape in a multi-sector, multi-sector fashion, but coordinated through the established platforms. At this stage, it is critical to have built the necessary support in order to mobilize all key actors. There are several working groups (business, finance, policy, landscape strengthening, outreach) and opportunities for linking to each of them.
