In response to global ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change, landscape restoration (LR) appears high on the international agenda (UNEP and FAO, 2020). Along with other major initiatives, the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030 seeks to accelerate restoration action around the globe (UNEP, 2021). Because the challenges we face are interconnected, it is essential that these problems are tackled together, and that restoration efforts address the complexity of ecological, social, economic and political landscapes in an integrated manner (Carmenta et al., 2020). It is widely recognized that socio-ecological systems and locally led action are crucial for achieving multiple restoration benefits (César et al., 2021;Fischer et al., 2021). Yet, despite numerous guidelines and tools to encourage participatory approaches, the implementation of multi-stakeholder-driven restoration is not commonplace (Höhl et al., 2020;Jellinek et al., 2019). Restoration initiatives that insufficiently consider Indigenous communities or local stakeholders' perspectives, knowledge and needs may generate unforeseen or unwanted effects (Robinson et al., 2021;Scheidel & Gingrich, 2020).
