Ecuador es considerado como uno de los “hotspots” de biodiversidad en el mundo (Brummit y Lughadha 2003). Pero también presenta una de las tasas de deforestación más altas de Latinoamérica, estimada en 0,63% para el periodo 2000- 2008 (MAE 2011a), lo que corresponde a más de 61,765 mil hectáreas por año.

this MFW will be an approach to restoration which requires coordination between sectors intended to promote productive multifunctional territories characterised by an optimal balance negotiated with local actors in terms of supply of economic, social and environmental benefits. This internationally-recognized vision for Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) allows the promotion of synergies between the three Rio conventions and can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Globally, according to FRA 2000, planted forests account ed for only 5% of forest area, but up to 35% of industrial roundwood supply. This is anticipated to rise to 40-44% by 2020. Planted forests reflect a higher social, environmental and economic importance than their area would suggest. Many countries have existing planted forest data that is not based upon forest inventory, is incomplete and often outdated. Thus it is difficult to measure and plan the quantity and quality of planted forest resources and the provision of goods and services that they supply.

Les forêts méditerranéennes d’Algérie, Liban, Maroc, Tunisie et Turquie couvrent une superficie totale de près de 19 millions d’hectares. Ces forêts ont été et seront soumises de manière croissante à des pressions anthropiques (surpâturage, collecte de bois de chauffe, incendies, conversions agricoles, etc.) et aux effets dus au changement climatique (augmentation des températures et de la fréquence des événements extrêmes, diminution des précipitations, attaques parasitaires, etc.) Ainsi, des phénomènes de déforestation et de dégradation forestière sont observés.

Es ampliamente reconocido que una de las principales causas de la deforestación y la degradación de los bosques radica en el alto costo de oportunidad del manejo forestal sostenible (MFS), lo que suele conllevar a un cambio de uso del suelo hacia alternativas como la agricultura, la agro-industria o la ganadería, que producen mayores ingresos para los dueños o usuarios de los bosques. el documento se estructura en cinco secciones.
