“…In contrast, the pathway for action on Global movement through financial and awareness-raising interventions showed more positive than negative outcomes. Publications under the Technical capacities pathway addressed research on various dimensions of ecosystem restoration and largely yielded inconclusive outcomes, which can also be related to insufficient monitoring from both a technical and social perspective (Hohl et al 2020;Mansourian & Vallauri 2022) while emphasizing compliance-instead of performance monitoring (Ota et al 2020).…”

The strategy of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration identifies three pathways for action for overcoming six global barriers thought to hamper upscaling. We evaluated 6,023 peer-reviewed and gray literature papers published over the last two decades to map the information landscape underlying the barriers and associated pathways for action across world regions, terrestrial ecosystem types, restorative interventions and their outcomes. Overall, the literature addressed more the financial and legislative barriers than the technical and research-related ones, supporting the view that social, economic and political factors hamper scaling up ecosystem restoration. Latin America, Africa, and North America were the most prominent regions in the literature, yet differed in the number of publications addressing each barrier. An overwhelming number of publications focused on forests (78%), while grasslands (6%), drylands (3%), and mangroves (2%) received less attention. Across the three pathways for action, the action lines on (1) promoting long-term ecosystem restoration actions and monitoring and (2) education on restoration were the most underrepresented in the literature. In general, restorative interventions assessed rendered positive outcomes except those of a political, legislative or financial nature which reported negative or inconclusive outcomes. Our indicative assessment reveals critical information gaps on barriers, pathways, and types of restorative interventions across world regions, particularly related to specific social issues such as education for ecosystem restoration. Finally, we call for refining "strength of evidence" assessment frameworks that can systematically appraise, synthesize and integrate information on traditional and practitioner knowledge as two essential components for improving decision-making in ecosystem restoration.

Detailed exploration of why and how a certain forest management operation was not implemented will lead to more nuanced understandings of local policy realities. Drawing on the viewpoints of street-level bureaucracy, the present study examined discretionary operations practiced by frontline forest bureaucrats in Java, Indonesia. The study particularly focused on how changes in wider political economic situations affected power relations between frontline forest bureaucrats and locals, and how changed power relations generated discretionary operations both in regulatory and facilitation aspects. The author combined various data collection methods, including a mail-out questionnaire survey for frontline forest bureaucrats, a survey through in-person interviews of village representatives, a survey through in-person interviews of household heads in a village, and participatory observations of events in villages. The findings showed that frontline forest bureaucrats’ discretion included both creative and passive forms; whereas they attempted to accommodate contrasting policy goals of protecting forests and meeting local demands for forests, they felt hesitation to cope with local situations due to increasing bargaining power of locals that resulted from recent democratization processes. Policy options or organizational measures to remove the conditions that result in negative types of discretion should be deliberated based on the realities of frontline forest bureaucrats.

“…Groundwater use in the Randublatung groundwater basin area increases rapidly, especially in the Randublatung, Kedungtuban, and Kradenan District, Blora Regency. Many deep wells are made to abstract groundwater for supplying irrigation water (Figure 1) [2,3]. The over-pumping activities on groundwater resources may cause several negative impacts on the environment, such as declining groundwater levels and land subsidence.…”

The high groundwater use in the Randublatung Groundwater Basin area relates to groundwater abstraction for agriculture. Therefore, a question arises on how much groundwater resources in this area may support agricultural groundwater usage. This research has the objective to quantify the groundwater resources in this area. This research conducts a geoelectrical investigation to identify the aquifer’s lithology and observe the groundwater level. The research reveals that resistivity values of subsurface rock layers in the research area range from 0.13 to 124.86 Ωm. The aquifer layer consisted of two aquifer systems, with the hydraulic conductivity varies of the aquifer layer is 0.0001 cm/s until 0.01 cm/s. The aquifer layers estimated to be found at depths vary 5 – 90 m from the ground with thickness range from 10 to 70 m. Meanwhile, the aquiclude layers consisted of clay, silty clay, and sandy clay was estimated to be found at depths varies 0 – 50 m from the ground with thickness varies from 5 to 65 m. by combining those data with a hydraulic gradient of groundwater flow, the dynamic groundwater resources in the research area is estimated between 50 m3/day and 4,691 m3/day.
