No results found.Forests cover about 26 percent of the land area in the Asia-Pacific region and provide vital ecosystem services in support of agriculture, food security and nutrition, as well as playing a critical role in climate change mitigation and adaption. However, this vital role is being rapidly diminished due to massive degradation of forests and lands. Degradation of forests can have severe negative local impacts and far-reaching consequences, including soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, depletion of water, greenhouse gas emissions, dust storms, diminished livelihood opportunities and reduced yields of forest products and services. In recent years, landscape approaches to restoration have gained momentum and offer enormous opportunities. The concept is based on the recognition that trees and forests comprise critical components of rural landscapes and that diversification at landscape levels can enhance ecological and socio-economic resilience. -
