Background
• Within the initiative "The Bonn Challenge" launched in 2011, which promotes to restore
150 million hectares of forests and degraded lands worldwide, the International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN) together with the Federal Ministry of Environment of
Germany (BMU), developed in 2012 the IUCN-BMU project in Mexico.
1.Identify potential areas to implement initiatives of forest landscape restoration* in Mexico.
2.The information generated is used as a tool to manage local and international financial
resources to guide restoration efforts.
Objectives
* Restoration: Retrieve the basic functions of ecosystems.
Methodology
A. Defining criteria
B. Gathering
C. Data proces
D. Evaluation multicriteria
E. Mapping
A. Defining criteria Workshop: • Participatory process with institutional
actors (30 professional) to define ecological, economic and social criteria.
INEGI (National Institute of Geography and Statistics) October 2012, Aguascalientes City, Mex.
B. Gathering
Working with other National Institutions: • Sharing information
Workshop, september 2012, CONABIO Office, México City
Institutions that participated in the workshop to define the criteria :
• 3 Deterioration levels National Comission Forest
• 3 Priority levels to restauration in Land forest with high risk to wood extraction
National Institute of Geography and Statistics
• 3 levels to deforestation risk National Ecology Institute & Climate Change
• 3 Priority levels to restauration classified by erosion risk according type of soil
National Institute of Geography and Statistics
C. Data process Forest zoning Deforestation risk
Potencial and real land use Erosion risk
Level of preservation of vegetation Fire resilience
C. Data process follow
Cloud forest
• 3 Priority levels to restauration classified by level of preservation of vegetation
National Comission Biodiversity
• 3 Priority levels to restauration in cloud forest land National Comission Biodiversity
• 3 Priority levels to restauration classified by fire resilience National Comission Biodiversity
Process 1. Cartographic overlay process in Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
2. Weighing and reclassify the final maps
3. Adding map with the most fragile ecosistem (Cloud forest)
D. Evaluation multicriteria
E. Mapping

Results
The suggest surface for forest landscape restoration is 302.124 km2 (13% of the country)
Results: Regional level Attention sites for forest landscape restauration on biological corridors
100,440 ha
Results: Regional level

Worshop with local developmet agencies,march 2013
Conclusions
• It is essential to have a map that prioritizes potential sites for restoration.
• The map it is a good reference tool for future work in conjunction with other
institutions involved in forest resources in Mexico.
• It showed the potential of information management technologies and modeling
geographic space to address a complex problem of land use.
Ecoregions Areas of important bird conservation
Priority hydrologic regions Priority terrestrial regions
Priority sites for conservation of terrestrial biodiversity Areas of high biodiversity priority attention
