Abstract/Summary:
The Citizens’ Call for Ecological Forest Restoration is proposed as a national policy framework to guide sound ecological restoration policy and projects. Through these restoration principles, we seek to articulate a collective vision of ecologically appropriate, scientifically supported forest restoration. Scientifically credible principles and criteria provide a yardstick with which to evaluate proposed forest restoration policies and projects that can be used both on the ground and in policy debates.
