This book, with contributions from leading academics  - and including reviews and case studies from Ethiopian Church forests  - will provide a valuable reference for advanced students and researchers interested in forest and other natural resource management, ecology and ecosystem services as well as restoration options.The book addresses various aspects such as general overview of Ethiopian church forests, present role and future challenges, their structure and diversity to understand their sustainability in a general way, and restoration options to the surrounding landscapes, considering the circumstances of the land and the needs of surrounding communities. The intended readership includes natural resource in general as well as forestry professionals in particular (practitioners, policymakers, educators and researchers). We do expect that it will provide the reader with a good foundation for understanding Ethiopian forest resources and restoration options of degraded landscape.weiterlesen
