Analyzing the Systemic Impacts of Forest Landscape Restoration: The case of Viridis Terra in Peru

The assessment of nature-based infrastructure in the Peruvian Andes indicates that land restoration provides systemic benefits including job creation, increased carbon storage, and improved climate adaptation by reducing landslide risks and enhancing water availability. The study utilizes the Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) method to move beyond conventional cost-benefit analysis, highlighting that the most significant impacts are found in livelihood protection and agricultural resilience. Additionally, the document notes that restoration can foster gender equality by involving women and create economic opportunities through agroforestry and non-timber forest products.

• Land restoration in the Peruvian Andes generates multiple climate adaptation and environmental benefits, specifically the reduction of landslide risks, enhanced water availability, and increased carbon storage.
• The most significant benefits of land restoration are observed in the protection of community livelihoods, particularly through the creation of jobs and the improvement of agricultural resilience against climate change.
• Restoration initiatives offer economic opportunities via agroforestry and the production of non-timber forest products, while also providing a mechanism to promote women's empowerment and gender equality in rural areas.
