Detail description
Restoration of the Shouf Biosphere Reserve in Lebanon through community-led pilot actions integrating ecological recovery and social needs. Efforts include native tree planting, terrace and dry-stone wall restoration, biomass management, and improved nursery practices. These initiatives enhance water retention, reduce soil degradation, and support local livelihoods. High survival rates (75–99%) achieved after 2015 replanting with improved saplings. Strategies informed national forest restoration policies.
