“…Our aim was to compare the success of active and passive restoration strategies based on the responses of amphibian, ant, and dung beetle communities in a tropical cloud forest landscape, with emphasis on forest-specialist species. These three groups have different ecological traits, are highly sensitive to modifications in their habitats [ 22 ], and perform important ecological functions, such as seed dispersal, insect population control, and nutrient cycling [ 23 – 25 ]. Also they are taxa of conservation concern, as amphibians are the most threatened group of terrestrial vertebrates worldwide [ 26 ] and terrestrial insects are undergoing marked population declines [ 27 ].…”

Comparing the success of active and passive restoration in a tropical cloud forest landscape: A multi-taxa fauna approach

Tropical forest restoration initiatives are becoming more frequent worldwide in an effort to mitigate biodiversity loss and ecosystems degradation. However, there is little consensus on whether an active or a passive restoration strategy is more successful for recovering biodiversity because few studies make adequate comparisons. Furthermore, studies on animal responses to restoration are scarce compared to those on plants, and those that assess faunal recovery often focus on a single taxon, limiting the generalization of results. We assessed the success of active (native mixed-species plantations) and passive (natural regeneration) tropical cloud forest restoration strategies based on the responses of three animal taxa: amphibians, ants, and dung beetles. We compared community attributes of these three taxa in a 23-year-old active restoration forest, a 23-year-old passive restoration forest, a cattle pasture, and a mature forest, with emphasis on forest-specialist species. We also evaluated the relationship between faunal recovery and environmental variables. For all taxa, we found that recovery of species richness and composition were similar in active and passive restoration sites. However, recovery of forest specialists was enhanced through active restoration. For both forests under restoration, similarity in species composition of all faunal groups was 60–70% with respect to the reference ecosystem due to a replacement of generalist species by forest-specialist species. The recovery of faunal communities was mainly associated with canopy and leaf litter covers. We recommend implementing active restoration using mixed plantations of native tree species and, whenever possible, selecting sites close to mature forest to accelerate the recovery of tropical cloud forest biodiversity. As active restoration is more expensive than passive restoration, both strategies might be used in a complementary manner at the landscape level to compensate for high implementation costs.

“…When considering these benefits, the return on investment in restoration actions will likely offset the cost in the long term in some locations (López‐Cubillos et al., 2023). Understanding and quantifying the value of these ecosystem services is a key future research need which could have far reaching implications for planning effective restoration actions (Aguilar‐Garavito et al., 2017).…”

AimColombia has committed to ambitious forest restoration targets which include a 1 million ha Bonn Challenge commitment and 6.47–8.31 million ha (rehabilitation and restoration, respectively) under the National Restoration Plan. Determining where and how to implement programs to achieve these targets remains a significant challenge.LocationColombia.MethodsWe adopt a multi‐objective optimisation framework for restoration planning and apply it to Colombia. We explore cost‐effective solutions that leverage the potential for assisted natural regeneration benefits while accounting for opportunity and establishment costs of restoration and maximising biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation benefits. We explore four politically relevant restoration area‐based targets (1, 6, 6.47 and 8.31 million ha) and identify minimum cost, and suites of maximum benefit and cost‐effective solutions.ResultsWe identify solutions that simultaneously perform well across biodiversity and carbon objectives, despite trade‐offs between these objectives. We find that cost‐effective solutions can achieve on average 91.1%, 90.8%, 90.5% and 90.1% of maximum carbon benefit and 100% of the maximum biodiversity benefit while significantly reducing costs. On average, the cost‐effective solutions reduce the cost by 87.5%, 56.8%, 59.6% and 46.2% compared to the maximum benefit solutions considering one, six, 6.47 and 8.31 million ha restoration targets, respectively.Main ConclusionsColombia has committed to bold restoration and conservation targets, such as those under the new 2030 Convention on Biological Diversity Global Biodiversity Framework. Strategic forest restoration planning will play an important role in achieving Colombia's biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation goals. We provide quantitative evidence to inform planning for environmentally and economically sensible restoration policy and practice in the country. Our framework and results can help guide Colombia towards meeting its ambitious forest restoration targets cost‐effectively.

Los factores tensionantes son considerados estímulos externos, que pueden dañar o no los sistemas naturales [39], que pueden causar pérdidas de elementos y organización de los ecosistemas [40]. Un factor limitante son las condiciones propias de los sistemas que impiden su normal desarrollo [39].…”

La definición y priorización de actividades de restauración del paisaje en áreas deforestadas es esencial para la salud a largo plazo de los ecosistemas, la biodiversidad y las comunidades humanas que dependen de los servicios ecosistémicos de los bosques. Este estudio se enfocó en la compleja área de Belmira, Antioquia, en los Andes colombianos, donde el objetivo principal de la investigación se centró en la identificación de áreas y actividades de restauración mediante un análisis espacial multicriterio y un análisis multitemporal. Se presentó una metodología innovadora de elicitación que considera las características individuales de cada experto para estimar la importancia de estas actividades. Se diseñó un instrumento de madera con escala numérica para el proceso de elicitación, controlando posibles sesgos cognitivos mediante protocolos estructurados. Además, se introdujo un algoritmo para generar muestras de distribuciones de probabilidad elicitadas a partir de modelos beta con el objetivo de mejorar la robustez de los resultados. Los hallazgos destacaron que las actividades de restauración de cuencas y suelos, así como las cercas vivas, son consideradas de mayor importancia por los expertos en toda el área de estudio. Estos resultados sugieren que los esfuerzos ambientales en la región deben focalizarse en estas actividades para generar impacto positivo.
