What are landscape approaches
and how effectively have they been implemented in the tropics?

Key findings from the “theory” literature
Optimizing adoption of landscape approaches:
• evaluating progress within a landscape is fundamental to determining where gains or losses are being made
• hybrid, multi-level and cross-sectoral governance structuresthat integrate internal traditional knowledge and external institutional and financial support are increasingly preferable
• must acknowledge the need for contextualisation and not subscribe to panaceas
• inclusive, participatory stakeholder negotiation can help align local socio-cultural and global environmental concerns
• should recognise dynamic processes and perverse outcomes

Key findings from the literature
Current barriers to effective implementation:
• the ongoing development of theory and conceptualization may be stimulating time lags
• the proliferation of terms associated with landscape approaches may be impeding policy and practice progress
• operating silos persist at all levels and scales
• engaging multiple stakeholders is all too often seen as a box-ticking exercise to satisfy project requirements
• monitoring remains the least well developed area of landscape approach application

Conclusions and recommendations
Landscape approaches remain contentious and under-theorized – “old wine, new bottles?”
There is good evidence of “landscape approaches” being implemented within the tropics but weak evidence of effectiveness
Multi-level engagement seems fundamental to success
Attempts to implement must be contextualized and willing to embrace complexity
Metrics need to continue to develop
