The IUFRO Task Force - Post-Conflict Forest Landscape Restoration: Make "It Back Better" – invites contributions for a forthcoming Special Feature of
Sustainability Science on “Post-conflict Forest Landscape Restoration: sustainability pathways for socio-ecological recovery and resilience”
Armed conflicts profoundly disrupt forest landscapes and the communities that depend on them. Ecosystems are degraded, governance institutions weakened, and social cohesion fractured. Yet post-conflict forest landscape restoration (FLR) offers a critical opportunity
not only to repair ecological damage but also to foster justice, social healing, peacebuilding, and resilience. This Special Feature will explore sustainability pathways for FLR in diverse conflict-affected contexts. We seek contributions that engage with
sustainability science perspectives and examine the coupled ecological, social, and institutional dimensions of restoration.
