Digital technologies are gaining considerable attention in the design, implementation, and monitoring of scalable restoration initiatives. Notwithstanding, there are questions about the capabilities and effectiveness of these evolving tools, particularly regarding what they highlight or obscure and who benefits or is excluded. This talk draws on participatory socio-ecological mapping, integrating high-resolution, multi-spectral imagery (dronescapes) with gendered workshops to go beyond the sensor. It illuminates the rich stories, traditions, and practices that are overlooked but are essential if restoration efforts are to be equitable and effective in ways that serve the needs of those who matter the most but remain largely marginalised in discussions about scalable restoration.
