Abstract Forest restoration can potentially contribute to multiple global sustainable development goals. Yet, little is known about the factors associated with local actors' choice engage in restoration, limiting of effective scaling strategies. Our study examines spatial socio‐ecological landowners' engagement forest documented by Atlantic Restoration Pact Brazil. We draw on Diffusion Innovations theory model associations between and explanatory variables among 222,000 private properties Forest. Properties highest cattle densities were 163.9% more likely be restored (95% CI: 131.1%–201.3%) than those lowest. Large had a 120.0% higher probability 90.9%–153.5%) medium ones. Compared reference levels, cover (in 2010) ambiguous, but greater loss (1990–2010) 9.0% less −12.5% −5.3%). water bodies 22.2% 8.9%–37.1%), while upland 46.6% 32.3%–57.8%), ruggedness 12.4%–30.9%). Longer travel times urban areas reduced likelihood 48.3% 39.7%–55.8%). road distance quantile 11.1% 0.1%–23.2%). High management levels 52.6% 15.5%–73.6%), densely populated increased it 53.8% 35.6%–74.4%). wealthier municipalities (54.7%, 95% CI 10.8%–116.4%). Landowners' decision‐making appears responsive legislative requirements (on minimum afforestation around waterbodies), underscoring their value for promoting restoration. Commercial landowners might have incentives restore or selectively targeted organisations, risking marginalisation smallholders poorer from agendas. Engagement where there are people lower cities, suggesting deliver ecological benefits some Brazil's most degraded landscapes. Read free Plain Language Summary this article Journal blog.
