In many tropical countries, government agencies, international agencies, the private sector, and civil society have expended much effort and resources in forest rehabilitation activities to meet rising demands both for forest products and environmental services.

It is critical to draw strategic lessons from these experiences and use them to plan and guide future efforts to increase their chances of success and long-term sustainability. The key lessons and examples in this chapter are based on the preliminary results of the study Review of Forest Rehabilitation Initiatives—Lessons from the Past, undertaken by CIFOR in collaboration with national partners in six countries: Peru, Brazil, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and China.
