Synopsis
Forest landscape restoration (FLR) is a planned process that aims to regain ecological integrity and enhance human wellbeing in deforested or degraded landscapes. The aim of this book is to explore options to better integrate the diverse dimensions - spatial, disciplinary, sectoral, and scientific - of implementing FLR. It demonstrates the value of an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to help implement FLR focusing specifically on four issues: understanding the drivers of forest loss and degradation in the context of interdisciplinary responses for FLR; learning from related integrated approaches; governance issues related to FLR as an integrated process; and the management, creation and use of different sources of knowledge in FLR implementation. The emphasis is on recognising the need to take human and institutional factors into consideration, as well as the more obvious biophysical factors. A key aim is to advance and accelerate the practice of FLR, given its importance, particularly in a world facing increasing environmental challenges, notably from climate change. The first section of the book presents the issue from an analytical and problem-orientated viewpoint, while later sections focus on solutions. It will interest researchers and professionals in forestry, ecology, geography, environmental governance and landscape studies.

"Mansourian and Parrotta have produced a delightful book, addressing many of my own concerns about the relative lack of attention in forestry, but particularly in forest restoration, to the lives of peoples living in and near the areas being 'restored'. This edited volume contains thirteen chapters, divided into four Parts. Part I sets the stage, discussing why integrated approaches are needed, documenting some of the mistakes of the past, and establishing the importance of local and indigenous knowledges, as well as the effects of power imbalances and inequality....The book is readable and offers valuable advice for those considering restoring a landscape - a topic much in the news within the forestry field of late. Its emphasis on better integrating human and biophysical concerns in restoration is rare and welcome. I would also recommend it for any college or graduate class that will be dealing with restoration, landscape or forest management, and environmental conservation and development."
