Restoring Forest Ecosystems: The Human Dimension
Journal, Research (Article)
Why should society restore forest ecosystems? What kinds of restorations are likely to succeed socially as well as ecologically? How do we maintain the volunteer force needed to implement and maintain restoration projects? Scholars are beginning to address these questions and finding that human dimensions are key to the successful implementation and maintenance of restoration projects. We recommend making clear the range of benefits resulting from restoration, negotiating ecologically sound and socially acceptable alternatives, and creating volunteer communities that sustain projects over the long run.
