Description:
The purpose of the workshop was to identify major operational and ecological considerations needed to successfully conduct large-scale reforestation projects throughout the forested regions of the world. Large-scale" for this workshop means projects where, by human effort, approximately 100,000 hectares or more of new forests have been established or are planned annually for about a decade in an individual country or region. perational and ecological considerations and case studies were discussed. our points of importance surfaced: 1) a clear determination of the amount of land available for reforestation throughout the world; 2) economically speaking, reforestation does require money investments; social and political considerations must be emphasized; and 4) large-scale reforestation projects mean more than just contiguous block plantings, they can include many small, dispersed plantings, also.
