This 5-year project aims at providing state-of-the-art information about the forests in the Asia-Pacific region and the status and causes of their degradation as well as past and current rehabilitation efforts and achievements. The work also involves an assessment of national capacities in forest rehabilitation and existing education programs and critically analyzes the need for further strengthening of forest landscape restoration efforts in the region.
With funding provided by Yuhan Kimberly of Korea, the ASEAN-Korea Environmental Cooperation Project, and IUFRO the project will produce several book volumes each presenting forest restoration and rehabilitation efforts in the various regions of Asia Pacific.
