Abstract

The restoration of tree cover has been placed at the top of international policy agendas, yet often, the ‘type’ of restored forests can be widely different, with consequences for biodiversity and livelihoods. Here we used a map of forest management types to assess the extent of managed forests in recent tree cover gains globally. We call on policymakers to differentiate forest management as a distinct element of reforestation targets.
