The article contributes to the debate between active and passive restoration strategies. It compares the contribution of both strategies in facilitating plant diversity recovery in Southern Ethiopia. Results highlight passive approaches are more diverse at the plot level, whereas active approaches would highly contribute to the plant diversity at the landscape level. The article concludes that mixing both approaches, protecting naturally regenerated seedlings, and promoting sustainable extraction of products are good practices actors and policymakers should use to increase plant diversity in forest landscapes.
