Landscape rehabilitation of degraded tropical forest ecosystems: case study of CIFOR/Japan project in Indonesia and Peru

Causes of tropical forest degradation, especially logging, are outlined, and silvicultural practices for rehabilitation and sustainable management of these forests are noted. Brief descriptions are given of 2 two case studies (CIFOR/Japan Project): Evaluation of forest harvesting and fire impacts on the forest ecosystem and development of methods to rehabilitate logged-over forest and degraded lands in Indonesia (in partnership with Universitas Mulawarman); and Evaluation of forest harvesting impacts on forest ecosystems and rehabilitation methods of logged-over forest and degraded lands in Peru (in partnership with Instituto Nacional de Investigación Agraria).
