Forest Restoration in Landscapes
Beyond Planting Trees
Mansourian • Vallauri • Dudley Editors
The importance of restoration continues to grow,
and this book integrates the restoration of forest
functions into landscape conservation plans. The
global conservation organization WWF has made
forest landscape restoration a key topic and priority
for its environmental work. Due to the WWF’s
extensive global reach, and together with is many partners and counter-
parts, it has acquired a significant level of experience on the topic of
forest restoration at large scales. This book represents the collective body
of knowledge and experience of WWF and its many partners—which is
collected here for the first time and which will be invaluable to all of those
working in the field. This guide will serve as a first stop for practitioners
and researchers in any organization or region and as a key reference on the
subject. Along with concise, practical information for a variety of specific
systems and issues, it gives many suggestions for further research.
From the Foreword by Chief Anyaoku, President, WWF International:
“Is it a sign of the times that the Nobel committee chose to award the
Nobel Peace prize to Wangari Maathai for having planted 30 million trees?
We believe so....The 21st Century will be a time of forest restoration.”
