Reforestation in Latin America is more than planting trees in formerly forested landscapes. Rather, reforestation with native trees can restore degraded pasturelands and can also foster regeneration under the plantations' canopies. This book discusses the economic and ecological benefits of forest restoration in Latin America.

Research in tropical forestry is confronted with the task of finding strategies to alleviate pressure on remaining forests, and techniques to enhance forest regeneration and restore abandoned lands, using productive alternatives that can be attractive to local human populations.
