International Union for the Conservation of Nature Report Released: Improving Ecosystem Functionality and Livelihood: Experiences in Forest Landscape Restoration and Management

This month, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) released a paper titled, Improving Ecosystem Functionality and Livelihood: Experiences in Forest Landscape Restoration and Management. The 26-page paper available here, as a downloadable pdf,
examines how interventions intended to improve functionality and productivity of forested landscapes to improve livelihoods of the poorest populations, might actually yield co-benefits in terms of biodiversity conservation. Using case studies from eight landscapes involved in Livelihoods and Landscapes Strategy it presents evidence for the benefits of landscape approaches to forest restoration.
