this is it." (David Gillieson, Ecological Management & Restoration, Vol. 12 (3), December, 2011)"This book provided a thorough introduction to reforestation in the Asia-Pacific region. ... its audience to broadly include national and international conservation entities, advanced students and researchers, business professionals, non-governmental organizations, and the media. We agree that Regreening would be a useful addition to the reference libraries of these groups ... . the book has a detailed table of contents and excellent cross-referencing making it relatively easy to find information on specific topics." (The CenTREAD Working Group, Human Ecology, November, 2011)"The author achieves his aim of giving a comprehensive overview over the current state of smallholder and village forestry in APR and its contextual conditions ... . The rich personal experience of the author from fieldwork in APR and the abundance of interesting case studies add valuable information which otherwise would be difficult to access. ... the book is, as it is, thought provoking and a valuable source of data and information." (Eberhard F. Bruenig, International Forestry Review, Vol. 14 (1), 2012)"This book is compulsive and compulsory reading for those of us that want to re-establish forest communities on degraded grasslands and degraded secondary forests in South-East Asia and the Pacific Islands. ... The text is well-written and easily read with relevant background, numerous case studies, key data and findings, well-compiled tables and text boxes ... . In summary, this is a highly readable, thoroughly well-researched and comprehensive book which is must-read material for all forest rehabilitation practitioners, including plantation managers, academics and students." (Lex Thomson, Australian Forestry, Vol. 75 (2), 2012)"The book is exceedingly well structured and written and provides a well-balanced treatment of forest restoration from both the ecological and economic perspectives. It is, at present, the most definitive treatment of tropical forest restoration on the market and as such it should be on the bookshelves of all tropical ecology lecturers and students, as well as NGO's and forestry departments. It should be treated as an invaluable investment by all those involved in protected areas management and REDD+ projects throughout the region and beyond."
