Paperback. Zustand: Good. As ecological restoration becomes central to climate resilience and global conservation efforts, the need for effective, well-managed projects has never been greater. Project Planning and Management for Ecological Restoration offers a clear, field-tested framework to help practitioners from professionals to volunteers navigate complex restoration work with greater confidence and success. Drawing from decades of experience, John Rieger, John Stanley, and Ray Traynor lay out a practical, four-phase process: planning, design, implementation, and aftercare. Their approach integrates insights from landscape ecology, hydrology, soil science, and wildlife biology, translating them into actionable steps that can be adapted to diverse ecosystems and project goals. Designed to prevent common missteps and improve outcomes, the book includes checklists, tables, and illustrations to guide readers through each phase of a project from identifying restoration targets and setting timelines to long-term monitoring and adaptive management. Case examples reflect real-world challenges, emphasizing flexibility, collaboration, and scientific grounding. This guide equips land stewards, conservation professionals, and community leaders with the tools to carry out restoration projects that are both ecologically sound and socially meaningful. It brings structure to a process that often feels overwhelming and helps ensure that restoration efforts result in lasting, measurable change on the ground. Condition: Good. Copyright © Island Press.…
