Ecological restoration is a global priority. Incorporating stakeholders' perceptions has been established as a critical factor to improve the success of restoration and conservation initiatives and decrease future social conflicts; however, it has barely been incorporated. Our objective was to analyze and compare the differences in the perceptions of Chilean dryland forest restoration of three groups: local community, experts, and government managers. We asked about: (1) what is the knowledge, importance, and uses that they have and give to the native forest and its restoration? (2) What is the willingness to restore the native forest? (3) What are the most valuable goods and services provided by the forest? (4) Where to begin to restore? (5) What criteria must be considered to prioritize areas to restore? To determine if the criteria selected were related to the stakeholder group, a semi‐parametric multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was performed. Semi‐structured interviews were carried out with 61 stakeholders. The community gave greater importance to restoring the ravines and creeks, the experts to restoring areas that increase landscape connectivity, and both experts and government managers to restoring areas of greater biodiversity and ecological value. The experts gave a lower value to both social and economic criteria compared to the local community and government managers. The differences among stakeholder perceptions must necessarily be considered in the restoration programs. Research on perceptions can contribute to decision‐making and will favor the social approval and long‐term success of restoration programs.

利益相关者对原生林的看法差异：对制定恢复计划的影响

生态恢复是全球优先事项。已经确立了吸收利益相关者的看法作为提高恢复和保护计划的成功率并减少未来社会冲突的关键因素；但是，它几乎没有被合并。我们的目标是分析和比较智利旱地森林恢复这三个群体在当地社区，专家和政府经理这三类观念上的差异。我们问了一下：（1）什么是知识，重要性，并利用它们拥有的资源，并将其用于原生森林及其恢复？（2）恢复原生森林的意愿是什么？（3）森林提供的最有价值的商品和服务是什么？（4）从哪里开始恢复？（5）必须考虑什么标准来优先确定要恢复的区域？为了确定所选标准是否与利益相关者群体相关，进行了半参数方差多变量分析（MANOVA）。对61个利益相关者进行了半结构化访谈。社区更加重视恢复山沟和小溪，恢复恢复景观连通性的地区的专家，以及专家和政府管理人员恢复具有更大生物多样性和生态价值的地区的重要性。与当地社区和政府经理相比，专家对社会和经济标准的评价较低。在恢复计划中必须考虑利益相关者之间的差异。对知觉的研究可有助于决策，并将有助于社会认可和恢复计划的长期成功。
