National Landscape and Ecosystem Restoration Program Lina Pohl - Minister Bonn Challenge Latin America 2017 Roatán, June 12 th, 2017
Why should we restore landscapes? Reduce the country's vulnerability associated with environmental degradation and loss of forest cover in critical areas Ensure water supply; reduce flooding risks. Restore degraded land and increase agricultural productivity in a sustainable way. Conserve Biodiversity and build greater resilience to the effects of Climate Change
PROGRAM COMPONENTS Restore and Conserve critical ecosystems through socially inclusive processes to recover key ecosystem services Restore highly degraded lands, through establishing a climate resilient and biodiversityfriendly agro-forestry system Establish a more synergic integration of physical and natural infrastructure.
Implementation Methodology PARTICIPATORY ANALYSIS OF VULNERABILITY AND SCALE LANDSCAPE DEGRADATION IDENTIFICATION SITES TO RESTORE AND PRIORITIZING RESTORATION TECHNIQUES PREPARATION LOCAL RESTORATION PLAN, DRIVERS ADDRESS AND MONITORING PLANS Establishing a Plant Nursery Network and Seed Center ALLIANCES FOR IMPLEMENTATION -Municipalities, Farmer Associations, ADESCO s, CONSAA, Municipality Associations, Committee, FIAES, GIZ -Letter of Agreements and Joint implementations
Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology MARN/UICN Surface water, groundwater and adaptation to drought Soil Conservation and agriculture Adaptation: floods and storms Biodiversity Climate regulation by urban cities Firewood
Information at municipality level
Erosion Control Enhances Fresh Water Supplies Sediment Movement Control Protect Infrastructure Halt sediment accumulation
High Level Political Coffee Agreement Restore and Maintain Coffee Agroforestry Systems Importance of Coffee Farms for Groundwater Recharge Reducing risks to landslides and floods in the coastal zone
Priority Restoration Landscapes One million hectares restoration target Part of the Bonn Challenge
Landscape Approach
PREPARATION A LOCAL RESTORATION PLAN FOR EACH LANDSCAPE We have made Seven Plans
Kind of transition on Restoration Program 1. Maize and Beans crops to Agroforestry Systems (Intercropping beans/maize) 2. Pasture to silvopastoral system Net Present Value of Land Restoration (US$/ha) 3. Mosaic of crops and pasture to agro-silvopastoral system 4. Mosaic of crops, pastures and vegetation <900 m.s.n.m. to Agroforestry systems of cocoa (1) 5. Sugarcane with burning practice towards the green harvest (Zafra) 6. Coffee Growing <800 m.a.s.l. towards Cocoa agroforestry systems 7. Coffee Growing <800 m.a.s.l. towards a low height coffee renovation 8. Coffee Growing 800-1200 m.a.s.l. towards renovate Coffee medium height plantation 9. Coffee Growing > 1200 m.a.s.l. towards renovate Coffee height plantation 10. Mosaic of Crops towards Riparian Forest 11. Degraded Mangrove towards Restored Mangrove

Zonas afectadas por el gorgojo National Reforestation Plan - CONASAV 103 Sitios El Junio 5 participaron 15000 personas de 186 Organizaciones/Instituciones Zonas de recarga hídrica Zonas afectadas por incendios forestales Zonas propensas a deslizamientos
Ficha de sitio Cada iniciativa de reforestación cuenta con una ficha donde se presenta el área a intervenir, la institución líder, los actores, las especies a utilizar, y la importancia de reforestar para los territorios y los servicios ecosistémicos a restablecer, costos de siembra y mantenimiento.

Ministerial Cabinet for Environmental Sustainability and Vulnerability National Council for Environmental Sustainability and Vulnerability Key Elements for Success 1. Achieving political support at the Highest Level 2. Leadership and good governance, with full participation in decision-making and monitoring system 3. Strategic alliances and logistics for implementation 4. Resource mobilization strategy and design of an incentive mechanism 5. Put emphasis on local Adaptation, but in synergy with Mitigation. 6. Address drivers of deforestation and forest degradation 7. Improve local benefits risk reduction, enhance biodiversity (including soil biodiversity ) to improve livelihoods and achieve positive impact on productive activities.
