Analog Forestry As A Tool For Ecological Restoration In A Forest Planted With Eucalyptus Globulus At Hacienda El Paraíso, Imbabura Province. (2020)

Author: Cinthya Nicole Carrasco Hinojosa
Location: Hacienda El Paraíso, Imbabura Province, Ecuador

The Hacienda el Paraíso served for more than 35 years as a monoculture of Eucalyptus globulus, which resulted in the loss of biodiversity, soil degradation and erosion, reduction of water resources, and landscape fragmentation. Therefore, the objective of this project was to use an analog forestry approach to restore the forest planted with E. globulus and to provide economic resources for the local community.
