| description:
|
Data on forest condition and current land use were used to derive the map of opportunities for restoration on degraded lands. The land-use data sets include population density, urbanized or industrial areas, and cropland distribution. Areas with high population density or those occupied by intensively managed croplands were considered as having no or low forest restoration potential. Areas with scattered cropland areas, pastures, agroforestry and all types of forest plantations were considered as providing promising opportunities for restoration. Deforested and degraded forest lands were divided into four categories, resulting in a map of restoration opportunity areas and other former forest lands:
- Wide-scale restoration: Less than 10 people per square kilometer and potential to support closed forest.
- Mosaic restoration: Moderate human pressure (between 10 and 100 people per square km).
- Remote restoration: Very low human pressure (density of less than one person per square km within a 500-km radius).
