Generating lasting positive impact requires interventions that address socioeconomic and ecological challenges of the restored landscape. These interventions could range from improving management system in agriculture areas to re-vegetating degraded land with native species.

RESTORE+ performed biophysical productivity modelling to estimate yield and carbon sequestration information of restoration options in Indonesia.

The generated biophysical productivity datasets aim to inform stakeholders or future investigations on the ecological and economic trade-offs of restoration interventions.

The restoration "staircase"

Restoration approaches vary. Suitability of restoration intervention is related to the state of degradation of the restored landscape. As biodiversity and ecosystem services improve, the suitable approach can "elevate" along the restoration staircase.

RESTORE+ modelled multiple systems that depict various landscapes and restoration approaches. This covers monoculture forest and agriculture plantations, as well as agroforestry, native tree species planting and natural forest growth.
