Botero, M., Galbiati, L.A., Moutinho, P., Guerra, R., Anderson, N., Chapman, M.

We propose a protocol for strategic decision-making in the implementation of reforestation requirements in the new Forest Code. We worked with the microregion of Colíder to identify priority levels for reforestation in private lands. In addition, we estimated the investment levels required for three distinct reforestation scenarios. This work is part of ICC/University of Chicago and IPAM partnership.
