摘要
大规模森林恢复或景观恢复是一种与环境保护实践日益相关的方法。然而，执行工作仍然是一项挑战；监测不力和吸取教训会导致类似的错误重演。全球保护组织世界野生动物基金会(WWF)最近对其实施森林景观恢复的10年来进行了总结。世界自然基金会及其在不同国家的合作伙伴的工作产生了大量知识，这些知识对更广泛的保护界是有用的，但要做到这一点，需要系统地收集经验教训，并以连贯的方式向更广泛的保护和发展社区以及更重要的政策制定者传播。我们利用对世界自然基金会经验的回顾，并将其与其他相关和最近的文献进行比较和对比，以突出未来大规模森林恢复干预措施的11个重要教训。这些经验教训是使用恢复森林景观的循序渐进的方法提出的。我们认识到需要长期的承诺和资金，以及为成功恢复森林景观所作的协调和合作努力。我们的审查强调，景观规模森林恢复的监测影响仍然不足。我们的结论是，景观中的森林恢复是一个具有挑战性的重要命题，在二十一世纪的环境保护中具有实际但被低估的地位。
Abstract
Forest restoration at large scales, or landscapes, is an approach that is increasingly relevant to the practice of environmental conservation. However, implementation remains a challenge; poor monitoring and lesson learning lead to similar mistakes being repeated. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the global conservation organization, recently took stock of its 10 years of implementation of forest landscape restoration. A significant body of knowledge has emerged from the work of the WWF and its partners in the different countries, which can be of use to the wider conservation community, but for this to happen, lessons need to be systematically collected and disseminated in a coherent manner to the broader conservation and development communities and, importantly, to policy makers. We use this review of the WWF’s experiences and compare and contrast it with other relevant and recent literature to highlight 11 important lessons for future large-scale forest restoration interventions. These lessons are presented using a stepwise approach to the restoration of forested landscapes. We identify the need for long-term commitment and funding, and a concerted and collaborative effort for successful forest landscape restoration. Our review highlights that monitoring impact within landscape-scale forest restoration remains inadequate. We conclude that forest restoration within landscapes is a challenging yet important proposition that has a real but undervalued place in environmental conservation in the twenty-first century.
