“…The income of the fishermen can be affected by several factors, such as the fish catch, age of fishermen, and training program provided in the area ( Ahmed et al., 2021 ). To analyze these factors, Tikadar et al. (2022) carried out a multiple linear regression model in haor area and a summary of that finding is presented in Table 9 .…”

“…These components are affected by interactions between sets of processes, for example, physical processes such as warming and evaporation, economic processes such as traveling and consumption, or social-ecological processes such as strip mining and land degradation (Zhang et al, 2020a(Zhang et al, , 2020b(Zhang et al, , 2022dThomaz et al, 2022;Zhao et al, 2020a). These spatially explicit physical, ecological, and social processes tend to be generalized as geographical processes (Fu, 2020), and influenced by landscape restoration projects (Fu et al, 2021a;Liu, 2020;Tikadar et al, 2022;Fan et al, 2021;Liao et al, 2018).…”

The UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030) provides a new momentum for scaling up ecosystem restoration efforts to landscape restoration. China’s recent experience with transformative investment in landscape restoration provides invaluable guidance for the world. We retrospectively reviewed the scientific evidence on the responses of physical, ecological, and social processes to China’s landscape restoration under geographic heterogeneity and obtained four experiences and lessons. First, China’s forest landscape restoration has successfully promoted vegetation growth and enlarged the carbon sink. Second, landscape restoration has reduced the local water yield, while the regional responses of rainfall are still not clear. Third, the local conditions of soil erosion and habitat quality were largely improved by landscape restoration, while the decreases in soil moisture and streamflow demonstrated significant trade-offs among ecosystem services. Last, geographical differentiation existed in the local responses of livelihoods to landscape restoration strategies, and the win‒win solutions between human development and nature improvement under different landscape contexts were still uncertain. We summarize three additional questions as future prospects: what is the scale of the thresholds to prevent overshoot and cascading negative ecological effects? what are people’s prior needs from nature? considering that there may be no universal win‒win pathways, how to promote co-benefits based on regional human–nature relationships?

“…Due to their economic significance and ability to supply the need for fish protein, Sunamganj's small-scale fishing villages do not receive the attention they merit. The country has undertaken several measures to improve the living standard of the Sunamganj haor people, but they are insufficient to eradicate poverty and reduce the danger of climate change because the full picture of poverty and the impact of climatic shocks in this region is hidden from view [14]. Especially the small scale fishing communities were mostly ignored in this context which need to address as soon as possible.…”

Small-scale fishing communities in haor areas are among the most vulnerable to climate change and poverty. The aim of this study is to investigate the context of small-scale fishing communities in Sunamganj and nearby regions in terms of climate change and poverty. Haor regions are critical to the Bangladeshi economy, and many of people rely on them for a living. Small-scale fishing communities in Sunamganj are regarded the most vulnerable among the populations who live in haor regions because they are socially disadvantaged, undereducated, lack market access, have the identity of a working-class community, and have no notion how to change their fortunes. Due of climate change, the environment in many locations is changing, and as a result, the supply of fish is diminishing year after year. Additionally, the regular flash floods in these locations leave the fishing population vulnerable owing to restricted access to basic supplies. These factors contribute to the impoverishment of the small-scale fishing community and its decline into the vicious cycle of poverty. Also, they have limited access to tools and other sources of money that may aid them in escaping poverty. Hence, even if they tried, they couldn't escape their predicament of poverty. As following objectives, we offered a number of government initiatives, additional revenue streams, and local infrastructure restoration.
