Choi YoungtaeLandscape restoration: The experience of Korea
Abstract: Even though forests were once abundant in Korea, and used to be a major inspiration for literature, stories, and art, forest cover was severely devastated 60 years ago due to overexploitation during colonial occupation and the Korean War.

An Integrated Approach to Landscape Level Assessments of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health
Abstract: Policy, management and assessment efforts frequently fail to take into consideration the complexity involved in scale and cross-scale dynamics in human-environment systems. By ignoring these dynamics within spatial and temporal dimensions, interventions are often inappropriate for tackling PDQDJHPHQW�FKDOOHQJHV��7KH�FRQFHSW�RI�´HFRV\VWHP�KHDOWKµ�LQWHJUDWHV�DFURVV�VHYHUDO�VFLHQWLÀF�GLVFLSOLQHV��including social, natural, physical and health sciences, and provides a basis for comprehensive assessments of regional environments. Assessments of ecosystem health are normally made based on a wide range of LQGLFDWRUV��VXFK�DV�YLJRU��SURGXFWLYLW\���RUJDQL]DWLRQ�DQG�UHVLOLHQFH��+RZHYHU��GDWD�RQ�HFRV\VWHP�KHDOWK�DUH�JHQHUDOO\�OLPLWHG�DQG�PDQ\�RI�WKH�JHQHUDOL]DWLRQV�PDGH�IURP�H[LVWLQJ�HPSLULFDO�GDWD�DUH�DW�EHVW�JHQHUDO��
Hierarchical dynamics of ecosystem health across and within scales are hence poorly understood. To address these challenges and limitations, methods and approaches are needed for assessing biodiversity and ecosystem health in landscapes, including elements of scale and scale dependency for key metrics. The Land Degradation Surveillance Framework (LDSF) is one such approach, which has been implemented across a range of ecosystems in the global tropics providing systematic assessments of ecosystem health. The approach has also been
combined with socioeconomic surveys in order to understand social-ecological interactions and dynamics in landscapes.

Hillary AllisonSupporting forest restoration through assessment and indicators
Abstract: Forest restoration, the replacement of forests which have been lost and the regeneration of degraded forests, helps to tackle climate change, to restore vital ecosystem services on which both society and biodiversity depends and can contribute to revitalised local economies through supporting sustainable agriculture and tourism.Interventions focused on forest restoration need to be properly evaluated before implementation in order to help set clear and consensual objectives and to understand where trade-offs may need to be negotiated and then monitored after implementation to ensure that the impacts of interventions are tracked and if necessary revaluated.
This presentation will describe some decision making tools and approaches to developing indicators developed by UNEP-WCMC in collaboration with partners which can be applied to decision making in the context of forest restoration at both sub-national and national level. In particular it will cover TESSA (Toolkit for Ecosystem Services Site-Based Assessment) and the BIP indicator toolkit.

Indicators of tree genetic diversity for monitoring status and trends of forest genetic resources and the effectiveness of ameliorative actions
Abstract: Over the last two decades international policy processes have created a wealth of indicators to monitor the status of biodiversity. However, genetic diversity indicators, are still largely absent from comprehensive bio-monitoring schemes, even though genetic diversity is acknowledged as a major element of biodiversity; constituting the basis for adaptation, for ecosystem functioning and in providing resilient, productive landscapes. Connected to the State of the Worlds Forest Genetic Resources (FAO 2014), a framework for a set of genetic level indicators for trees is now proposed (Graudal et al. 2014). This presentation provides an introduction to these indicators, their context and interpretation as well as examples of the potential implications for the effectiveness of ameliorative actions related to the conservation and use
of tree genetic diversity. The proposed indicators cover multiple geographical scales and diversity, productivity, knowledge and management (DKPM) elements; are based on a genecological approach; can be embedded within current indicator initiatives of the Biodiversity Indicator Partnership (BIP); and contribute to coherent strategies for management of tree genetic resources in support of sustainable growth as an integral part of mitigation and adaptation strategies for global change.

Assessing the success of forest and landscape restoration efforts – what do genetic diversity indicators tell us?
Abstract: Numerous countries worldwide have responded to the 15th Aichi Target on restoration of degraded ecosystems by setting forest and landscape restoration targets in millions of hectares and initiating large scale tree planting programmes. Nevertheless, the resilience of these newly established forests and their contribution to carbon stocks and climate change adaptation – what the 15th Aichi Target ultimately is about – remains largely unknown. The success of restoring forests that are productive and resistant to abiotic and biotic threats is largely determined by the genetic diversity of the planting material and how well it is matched to the (current and predicted future) environmental conditions on the restoration site, especially as progressive climate change increases the selection pressure on tree populations. In this presentation we
discuss how the success of restoring resilient forests can be assessed by applying the genetic diversity indicators of evolutionary potential in tree species (Graudal et al. 2014). The widespread lack of data on these indicators in a restoration context, together with alarming results from the few existing studies, call for urgent attention to quality considerations in forest and landscape restoration efforts in addition to measuring success in terms of areas covered or seedlings planted.

Ensuring sustainable Forest Landscape Restoration in the tropics: lessons learnt from a comparative analysis of forest rehabilitation initiatives across Asia 1
Abstract: Ensuring long-term sustainability of rehabilitation initiatives along with tangible impacts on local livelihoods is still a major challenge to date. The results of a cross-country analysis from rehabilitation experiences in Asia (China, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Philippines) suggest that sustainable initiatives depend RQ�IRXU�NH\�IDFWRUV���L��D�ORQJ�WHUP�YLVLRQ�DORQJ�ZLWK�FOHDU�REMHFWLYHV�DQG�JRDOV�LQFOXGLQJ�VRXQG�ÀQDQFLQJ�� (ii) the need to address direct and underlying causes of forest and ecosystem degradation before interventions are implemented; (iii) enabling policy frameworks thus allowing better integration of initiatives from local to national levels; and (iv) effective mechanisms to clarify land ownership issues. Further, developing an integrated design for implementing forest rehabilitation as part of the overall landscape
management is pertinent.

Aichi Target 3 on positive incentives: Can Payments for Ecosystem Services deliver?Co-authors: Romain Pirard (CIFOR), Guillaume de Buren (IDHEAP), Renaud Lapeyre (IDDRI),
Abstract: The Convention on Biological Diversity expects signatory countries to promote positive incentives for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity as part of the Aichi Target 3. Payments for Environmental Services (PES) could provide these incentives, and we discuss their potential in light of their impact on the governance of forest restoration efforts. Indeed, one implication of PES is the establishment of multi-stakeholder agencies as intermediary bodies between funders and planters to manage the funds and WR�GLVWULEXWH�LQFHQWLYHV�WR�SODQWHUV��$�VHFRQG�LPSOLFDWLRQ�LV�WKDW�VSHFLÀF�FRQWUDFWV�DVVLJQ�REMHFWLYHV�WR�ODQG�users in the form of conditions for payments that are believed to increase the chances for sustained impacts RQ�WKH�JURXQG��7KHVH�WZR�JRYHUQDQFH�UHODWHG�FKDQJHV�DUH�DQDO\]HG�E\�ORRNLQJ�DW�WZR�SURPLQHQW�SD\PHQWV�
for watershed service programs in Indonesia with combined economic and political science approaches. We derive lessons that inform policy making for the use of positive incentives and related instruments as part of Aichi Target 3. Regarding the governance of funding efforts: multi-stakeholder agencies should not be seen as a guarantee of success.

Besides, conditioning payments provides no guarantee that restoration plots with the highest relevance for ecosystem services are targeted by the PES, hence the need for complementary safeguards.
