GLI contributed to the regeneration of local plant species: The case for restoring biodiversity in Ethiopia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/174964
Abstract
Ethiopia’s Green Legacy Initiative (GLI) aims to reverse land degradation, expand green cover, and restore biodiversity. Though criticized for favoring a few exotic species (Grevillea robusta, Vachellia deccurens, Pinus patula, and Cupressus lusitanica), our findings suggest these plantations effectively support native species regeneration in GLI sites.
