Project Description and Objectives
For detailed descriptions of the outputs for
this project for Year 4 (2009/2010) of the MTSRF Research
Programme, see the Annual Research
Plan.
This project will develop an understanding and application of
how to integrate complex social, economic and environmental
considerations in maintaining and developing sustainable forest
landscapes in the Wet Tropics.
Key objectives are to:
-
Produce a comprehensive set of profiles (typology) of
landholders in relation to NRM practices on private land in the Wet
Tropics region that will facilitate effective design and delivery
of NRM and rural development programs by public agencies; and
-
Develop tools to assist landholders, managers and researchers in
decision making about investments in forest restoration and to help
identify the resulting economic, social and environmental
benefits.
