    Identifying ‘restoration hotspots’ − areas that combine high potential for socio-ecological benefits with high restoration feasibility – can help to effectively prioritize action on international restoration commitments and to best achieve the expected benefits. I’ll present a proposal of global hotspots for tropical forest restoration based on four expected restoration benefits (biodiversity conservation, water provisioning, climate change mitigation and adaptation) and three restoration feasibility components (land opportunity costs, ecological uncertainty of forest restoration success, and likelihood of forest persistence.
