Lessons on land tenure and forest landscape restoration (FLR): A focus on sub-Saharan Africa

Global commitments require an increase in forest area, while agriculture land is declining in quality and there is a growing population to feed. Such commitments include: 30X30, which commits to expand forests and protected areas to 30% of the world’s land area by 2030; the Bonn Challenge, which has a goal of restoring 350 million ha of degraded and deforested land; and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration which seeks to prevent, stop, or reverse ecosystem degradation. In this context, it is important to remember that over half of the world’s land area is under customary ownership and/or used by Indigenous Peoples and local communities – who are among some of the most marginalized populations on the planet.
