Beskrivning
Is it a sign of the times that last year the Nobel committee chose to award the Nobel Peace prize to Wangari Maathai for having planted 30 million trees? We believe so.We think that while in the 20th century conservation made signi?cant progress on setting up a global protected area network, the 21st century will be a time of forest restoration.The fact that Wangari Maathai is the ?rst African woman to receive such an honourable distinction is in itself a major accomplishment.What is even more remarkable is that,for the ?rst time, this highly esteemed prize, which has long been associated with political feats, was given for an environmental achievement. And not just any environmental achievement, but forest resto- tion. It is a comfort to see that it is not just us at WWF, the global conservation organisation, who believe forest restoration to be of global signi?cance, but that the Nobel committee is in agreement.

From the reviews: "The World Wildlife Fund, or 'WWF' has recently initiated a program of large-scale forested landscape restoration ... . Forest Restoration in Landscapes is a compilation of WWF experiences in the establishment, maintenance, and evaluation of these efforts. There are many aspects ... that I found quite valuable. Some of the chapters of this book critically evaluated the restoration efforts of the past. ... Personally, I found Forest Restoration in Landscapes a useful addition to my reference library." (Don C. Bragg, Landscape Ecology, Vol. 22 (3), 2007) "A major mission of the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) has been habitat restoration, and forest habitats are a crucial part of that mission. Under the auspices of the WWF, this book uses the expertise of over 70 authors to show how forest restoration can be integrated with other aspects of conservation and landscape development. ... This book will serve as a teaching tool and reference for researchers and managers working on forest restoration." (Northeastern Naturalist, Vol. 13 (4), 2006)
