Abstract
The need for greater civil society participation in landscape scale restoration programmes is discussed. An example is given of a multi-stakeholder process that succeeded in identifying broadly acceptable scenarios for a large scale afforestation programme in Uruguay. General principles for engaging stakeholders in these processes are described and examples are given of the use of visualization and modeling techniques to build consensus and make desired outcomes explicit. The value of negotiated indicator frameworks to track progress and enable adaptive management is discussed. The use of these techniques allows landscape restoration to be a process of societal learning and adaptation rather than following a technically driven blue-print. Restoration driven by social movements is likely to be more effective and to yield a broader range of benefit flows and to face less opposition than restoration that does not follow these principles. A general conceptual framework for stakeholder engagement in landscape scale restoration programmes is proposed.
