Working towards Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) requires reaching agreement on a shared landscape vision and strategy among stakeholders who have different and sometimes competing priorities, often with diverse interests, perspectives, influence, cultures and languages, and sometimes with histories of conflict. Though each landscape is singular, LPs all encounter common challenges in carrying out collaborative action. To make the process easier, more effective and more inclusive, the 1000L initiative offers this Practical Guide to ILM. The guide provides a generic, locally adaptable, conceptual process and practical guidance for carrying out ILM.
The 1000L coalition created this Practical Guide to ILM by incorporating the collective experience of 1000L partners. The guide refers users to a supplemental tool guide of suggested tools that can support collaborative landscape planning and action. 1000L is creating additional tools and resources to further support these processes and serve the diverse needs of LPs worldwide.
