“…Ideally, a broad set of human dimensions and socio-economic outcomes should be evaluated and integrated into restoration projects to ensure and assess achievements [8,13]. Such holistic overview is especially necessary for FLR because this approach recognizes the need to address the drivers of deforestation and land degradation.…”

“…Evaluation of restoration initiatives focuses primarily on the ecological and biophysical outcomes of restoration [7]. More recently, a growing body of literature indicates the importance of human dimensions, such as socio-economic aspects and stakeholder engagement aspects for long-term restoration success [8,13,19]. The lack of appropriate consideration of key factors underlying restoration success may result, among other things, from the absence of a shared set of guiding principles and lack of interdisciplinary approaches.…”

“…Since FLR is a relatively recent restoration approach encompassing multiple human, ecological and economic dimensions, its principles and strategies are being constantly reviewed and refined [8,[24][25][26], similarly to key underlying attributes of FLR such as such gender equality [27], land tenure [18], funding [28], and definitions [1]. There is a vast and still-growing literature of case studies of FLR projects that assess the implementation of principles, identify common challenges and make recommendations [13,18,21,26,[29][30][31][32][33]. However, the holistic and complex principles of FLR defined in the literature are challenging to implement in practice [33].…”

Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) is considered worldwide as a powerful approach to recover ecological functionality and to improve human well-being in degraded and deforested landscapes. The literature produced by FLR programs could be a valuable tool to understand how they align with the existing principles of FLR. We conducted a systematic qualitative review to identify the main FLR concepts and definitions adopted in the literature from 1980 to 2017 and the underlying actions commonly suggested to enable FLR implementation. We identified three domains and 12 main associated principles—(i) Project management and governance domain contains five principles: (a) Landscape scale, (b) Prioritization, (c) Legal and normative compliance, (d) Participation, (e) Adaptive management; (ii) Human aspect domain with four principles: (a) Enhance livelihoods, (b) Inclusiveness and equity, (c) Economic diversification, (d) Capacity building; (iii) Ecological Aspects domain with three principles: (a) Biodiversity conservation, (b) Landscape heterogeneity and connectivity, (c) Provision of ecosystem goods and services. Our results showcase variations in FLR principles and how they are linked with practice, especially regarding the lack of social aspects in FLR projects. Finally, we provide a starting point for future tools aiming to improve guidance frameworks for FLR.

“…Contemporary community respectful protocols use innovative ancient, as well as modern, and post-modern discursive and political tools toward envisioning self-determined desired futures. According to Parks, community protocols are avenues to challenge power asymmetries at local, national and international levels and a tool for attaining just benefit-sharing (Parks 2018). In Asheninka and Yine communities, community respectful protocols are tools, first of self-government and self-determination, and second to share benefits with outsider proponents, provided they are aligned with communities' desired futures.…”

From the nineteenth century to the present day, external peoples, companies, and governments have perpetrated disrespectful attitudes and behaviours toward Amazonian Originary Peoples. In response, Originary Peoples have increasingly adopted their own protocols of respectful interactions with external actors. However, research on the development and implementation of intercultural understandings of "respect" in pluri-cultural interactions has been scarce. Drawing on findings from collaborative research in the Peruvian Amazon, this article explores how Asheninka and Yine perspectives and practices of "respect" inform and could transform euro-centric conceptions and hegemonic consultation processes based on "mutual respect," proposing instead a practice of "intercultural respect."The study was initiated at the invitation of Asheninka and Yine community members themselves. Long-term relationships catalysed an invitation to co-design a community-based collective endeavour, which began in 2015. The discussion and findings presented in this article are part of a larger project that attempts to portray how Asheninka and Yine collaborating communities want to be respected under their own terms. This collaborative work proposes: 1. An Originary methodology; 2. A paradigm-encounter frame; and 3. Ten principles to guide "intercultural respect" for the Peruvian Amazon.

“…Community protocols may, for instance, create a risk that governments would apply pressure from above to force communities to codify their understandings of benefit-sharing in community protocols and adapt local benefit-sharing norms to international standards that may be exogenously interpreted by governments or outsiders. 107 Interestingly, during the negotiations of the Mo'otz Kuxtal Guidelines, delegates eventually agreed to eliminate proposed text stating that indigenous peoples may wish to include special measures in their community protocols for encouraging non-commercial research, participatory research, and joint research for conservation and sustainable use, 108 as this was seen as an example of potential pressure from the outside. Overall, more research remains to be undertaken on the potential of community protocols to inject the CBD and other international fora with local voices to "expand understandings of benefit-sharing beyond the monetary definitions linked to capitalist and colonial logics sometimes assumed to be the benefits of highest interest to local groups" and to "challenge power relations both within and outside communities in order to create spaces for dialogues between discourses."…”

This article will use the definition of biodiversity as defined in CBD Article 2 as "the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems." 3.

Under the CBD Working Group on Article 8(j) (traditional knowledge), the fullest possible participation of indigenous and local communities is ensured in all Working Group meetings, including in contact groups, by welcoming community representatives as Friends of the Co-Chairs, Friends of the Bureau and Co-Chairs of contact groups; without prejudice to the applicable rules of procedure of the Conference of the Parties establishing that representatives duly nominated by parties are to conduct the business of CBD meetings so that any text proposal by indigenous and local communities' representatives must be supported by at least one party.
