The ‘Integrated Landscape Approach’ provides a basic framework for balancing competing demands and integrating policies for multiple land uses within a given area. However, attempts to formalize and characterize what the landscape approach actually represents have resulted in a plethora of interlinked terminology and re-invention of ideas and practices under multiple guises. The current study aims to map the development of the landscape approach; synthesize existing definitions and conceptual frameworks; and identify where and how these initiatives have been implemented in practice.

CIFOR Associate Martin Herold talks about a recent study that found that many countries planning to curb carbon emissions caused by deforestation overlook the root cause of deforestation.For more information go to: http://blog.cifor.org/24212/redd-readiness-strategies-largely-overlook-root-causes-of-deforestation#.VEikCouUeloIf you want to watch more of our interviews, got to : https://www.youtube.com/user/CIFORVideo/playlists?sort=dd&view=50&shelf_id=23
