The RRC database contains a wide variety of resources and publications related to ecological restoration, and we are actively working to expand this collection. It is our aim to serve as the principal clearinghouse for information and tools to support the work of researchers, practitioners, land managers, educators, students, and anyone else interested in restoration. Use the filter tool below to search the database by title, author, resource type, keyword, or any combination of these factors.
Although SER does review all entries in the database for relevance and quality, these resources have not been rigorously reviewed or extensively vetted in every case, and SER therefore makes no claim as to their accuracy or accordance with generally accepted principles in the field. The database is provided as a resource for visitors to the SER website, and it is ultimately left to the individual user to make their own determinations about the quality and veracity of a given publication or resource.
If there is a resource we missed, please let us know! We are interested in current books, articles, technical documents, videos, and other resources that are directly relevant to ecological restoration science, practice or policy, as well as resources treating the social, cultural and economic dimensions of restoration.
Listing of ITTO Projects in Tropical Forests
Abstract:The International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO), established by the ITTA, is the only international organization specialized in sustainable development of the tropical forests. ITTO includes producer and consumer countries of tropical forest products. Its 58 members, including the European Union, represent together 95 percent of the world trade in tropical timber and 75 percent of the world’ s tropical forests. An evaluation of the 14 years collaboration between SECO and ITTO highlighted the constant improvement of ITTO in capacity building and its excellent levels of quality in the management of the project cycle and as a platform between producers and consumers.
Resource Type:Web-based ResourceRestoration of Nova Scotian Salt Marshes, Streams and Riparian Zones
Abstract:Construction and repairs to Nova Scotia’s roads and bridges occasionally disrupt waterways and wetlands. Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal, Nova Scotia Environment, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) ensure that three things happen on jobs near waterways. First, habitat loss is minimized or avoided whenever possible; second, efforts are made to protect the environment during and after construction; and, third, damaged habitats are restored and enhanced or new habitats will be created to compensate for lost or damaged habitat.
