The process is expected to continue with a national data collection aimed at public and private actors, which will allow the authorities to make decisions in real time, generate key reports for compliance with international restoration commitments and innovate in the processes that are carried out.<\/p><p>Mario Coto, technical director of SINAC, noted the importance of advancing in the use of technological tools such as this one, which strengthen institutional action and reflect the real efforts that the country has been making for several decades in landscape restoration. For her part, Milena Guti\u00e9rrez, coordinator of the SIREFOR National Program, stressed the need for the tool to be simple and accessible to the actors who would be responsible for completing the information and would speed up SINAC's work of analysis and decision-making in restoration.<\/p><p>Finally, R\u00f3ger Villalobos, researcher at CATIE's Climate Action Unit and leader of this project, pointed out that the system is flexible and allows the possibility of adding variables over time, so that it can be adapted to current and future needs.<\/p><p>Landscape restoration is a way of optimizing land use, generally to return a landscape to a state in which it has a minimum set of biophysical characteristics.Whitbread-Abrutat (2012) posits as a definition of landscape restoration: <em>the enhancement of degraded land on a large scale, which rebuilds its ecological integrity and improves people's lives.<\/em><\/p><p><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/restauracion-SINAC2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/restauracion-SINAC2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/restauracion-SINAC2-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/restauracion-SINAC2-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/restauracion-SINAC2-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/restauracion-SINAC2-600x270.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure><p><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><p><strong>More information:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>R\u00f3ger Villalobos<\/p>\n\n<p>Researcher<\/p>\n\n<p>Climate Action Unit<\/p>\n\n<p>CATIE<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:rvillalo@catie.ac.cr\">rvillalo@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><p><strong>Written by:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Karla Salazar Leiva<\/p>\n\n<p>Communicator<\/p>\n\n<p>Information Technology and Communication<\/p>\n\n<p>CATIE<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:karla.salazar@catie.ac.cr\">karla.salazar@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><br><\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21 de febrero de 2023.
