| Description | Dryland forest restoration is complex due to several environmental and social challenges. New techniques help trees to develop and grow. The CoCoon is an incubator for tree seedlings, enhancing growth conditions towards early tree establishment, especially in drier regions. The Land Life Company (www.landlifecompany.com) has developed this tool and wants to evaluate the impact of it, both on short term (establishment) and longterm, including implementation issues.
The headquarters is in the Netherlands, current projects in dry systems in several tropical countries, including Mexico, Ghana Forest restoration/tropical zone/Africa/America's |
