Under the umbrella of the Forestry Research Network of Sub-Saharan Africa (FORNESSA) and with financial resources provided by the European Commission through the Global Forest Information Service - GFIS Africa Project, a group of African scientists compiled case studies of land rehabilitation from all major ecological regions in Western- Eastern and Southern Africa covering “dry”, “humid” and “sub-humid” forests and woodlands. The results of these case studies served to formulate general lessons learned for the rehabilitation of degraded forests lands. The authors concluded the synthesis work with recommendations for policy formulation, management practices, research and training to guide future rehabilitation efforts in Sub-Saharan Africa.
