Forest landscapes and the benefits they provide – e.g. timber, fuelwood, water regulation, soil protection and climate regulation – are crucial for the wellbeing of people in Togo. Many landscapes, however, are degraded due to unsustainable use of resources. It is crucial to improve their conditions, via restoration, for improving food security and access to water. This solution defines concrete options for forest landscape restoration (FLR) and land use planning based on participatory mapping and forest resource inventories at subnational level covering 410,000 ha. It provides the basis for the sustainable management of agrarian, forest and mangrove ecosystems with different land tenure systems such as sacred, community and family forests and protected areas, contributing to the wellbeing of the local population, climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation.
