Abstract

This book has been written by a team of experts from a wide variety of institutions coordinated by ITTO and IUCN. It explains the FLR concept and describes its main elements in chapters on adaptive management, landscape mosaics, landscape dynamics, stakeholder approaches, the identification of site-level options, hands-on site-level forest restoration and rehabilitation strategies, scenario modelling, and monitoring and evaluation. The result is by far the most comprehensive and easy-to-understand treatment of FLR yet written. It complements other work being carried out within the Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration.
