Abstract/Summary:
This document presents the major features of the ‘restoring natural capital’ (RNC) concept applied to arid and semiarid regions for the purposes of facilitating communication, information sharing and discussion. The goal is primarily: 1) to participate in promoting this approach to societies and communities most affected by degradation of the environments and resources they manage, and 2) to persuade governments and public and private assistance decision- makers to adopt this approach for their projects.
