Abstract/Summary:
The authors present approaches to restoring and rehabilitating the vast areas of degraded, fragmented and modified forests which cover much of the world. They argue that by applying best practice at the site level it is possible to enhance socio-economic and ecological gains at the landscape level. This approach is consistent with the ecosystem approach called for in the Convention on Biological Diversity.
