对热带森林恢复、人口、发展和国家社区森林所有权政策之间重叠的分析表明，全球南方有2.945亿人生活在森林恢复机会土地上。森林恢复在关于碳去除和生物多样性保护的全球对话中占据中心位置，但最近的研究很少承认与实施相关的社会层面或环境正义影响。我们发现，全球南方有2.945亿人生活在热带森林恢复机会土地上，其中包括低收入国家总人口的12%。森林景观恢复通过赋予当地社区管理和恢复森林的权利，优先考虑当地社区，这为协调气候减缓、保护、环境正义和可持续发展的全球议程提供了一个有希望的选择。
An analysis of the overlap between tropical forest restoration, human populations, development and national policies for community forest ownership shows that 294.5 million people live within forest restoration opportunity land in the Global South.Forest restoration occupies centre stage in global conversations about carbon removal and biodiversity conservation, but recent research rarely acknowledges social dimensions or environmental justice implications related to its implementation. We find that 294.5 million people live on tropical forest restoration opportunity land in the Global South, including 12% of the total population in low-income countries. Forest landscape restoration that prioritizes local communities by affording them rights to manage and restore forests provides a promising option to align global agendas for climate mitigation, conservation, environmental justice and sustainable development.
