Large-scale forest restoration strategies should be designed not only in the light of ecological aspects, but also considering the diverse interests and uses of landscape to expand project strategies and methodologies while also supporting a more effective, long-lasting and inclusive restoration. Here, we discuss the process of social engagement through restoration, incorporating this broader view of projects and evaluating restoration initiatives with different spatial scales and objectives within the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. These projects incorporate initiatives from different networks, platforms and sites distributed across regions with high ecological and socioeconomic heterogeneity. Despite the different restoration approaches used, the creation of a common ground for sharing information, communication, vision and expectations, as well the continuous dialogue between multiple stakeholders, is a common key factor among projects in the Atlantic Forest. Thus, we aim to shed light on relevant aspects of these strategies, trying to capture the enabling conditions to organizing people in a common view project and argue that transferring or adapting it more broadly could significantly contribute to the success of the national restoration agenda. |
