Understanding the factors that underlie the production of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), as well as regularly monitoring production levels, are key to allow sustainability assessments of NTFP extractive economies. Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa, Lecythidaceae) seed harvesting from natural ...

NTFP harvesters as citizen scientists: Validating traditional and crowdsourced knowledge on seed production of Brazil nut trees in the Peruvian Amazon
Making sure that native species and seed sources are site-adapted requires a certain degree of scientifically-based decision making capacity, which most restoration practitioners currently do not have. As part of our CBD COP13 Forest and Landscape Restoration blog series, Evert Thomas writes abo...

Lecciones aprendidas de experiencias de restauración en el Perú
Rehabilitation and restoration of forest ecosystems are in growing demand to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss and desertification—major environmental problems of our time. Interest in restoration of ecosystems is increasingly translated into strong political commitment to large-scale tree...

Genetic diversity of Enterolobium cyclocarpum in Colombian seasonally dry tropical forest: implications for conservation and restoration
Meeting the multimillion hectare commitments for forest and landscape restoration
(FLR) will require billions of tree seed and seedlings. However, the adequacy of seed
supply in terms of quantity, genetic diversity and quality has received scant attention
in FLR planning. We surveyed 139 FLR proj...
