This week I had the chance to 'close the loop' in Bhopal. I presented my research findings and recommendations to the Principal Chief Conservation of Forests (Wildlife and production) and other officials and groups involved in a massive effort to restore dry forests through invasive species removal around Kanha Tiger Reserve. I am glad that my work will inform the next steps to upscale restoration activities around the reserve, but also in other locations in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Foundation For Ecological Security (FES) brought together this group of stakeholders - financiers, local people, researchers and governmental officials - for this important conversation on forest restoration. Looking forward to seeing restoration efforts upscaled!
