1. FLR Hierarchical Logic
FLR Strategy
Description
Project Conceptualisation Phase
Vision
FLR is a planned process that aims to regain ecological integrity and enhance human well-being in deforested or degraded landscapes.
Goals
Restore degraded land
Increase forest cover
Provide access to clean water
Improve management of woodlots
Introduce agroforestry
Goals may refer to the entire nation or specific landscapes
Stakeholders identified and involved in setting goals
Target landscapes identified
Objectives
Establish protective forests on 50% of ridgetops and slopes >55%
Avoid exotic plantations in buffers around protected areas
Preserve corridors between PA
Eliminate row crop agriculture on 20-55% slopes
Project Implementation Phase
Results
Activities
Monitoring
Site-specific targets to be achieved in specific area
Steps needed to accomplish the results (who, what, when, where, costs)
Continuous; different questions are asked at different phases of implementation

Description
Project Conceptualization Phase
Vision
FLR is a planned process that aims to regain ecological integrity and enhance human well-being in deforested or degraded landscapes.
Goals
FLR Restores Ecological Integrity and Provides for Human Well-Being
Ecological Integrity refers here to an ecosystem’s composition, structure, and functional processes
Human Well-Being refers to meeting local needs; without local support, forest restoration at landscape scale cannot be sustainable
Objectives
Maintain, Increase, or Improve Ecological Functioning so that Forested landscapes provide desired Ecosystem Services
