Descripción
The already sparse forest cover of the Islamic Republic of Iran has beenthreatened with further reduction by oak dieback in the Zagros forestsand boxwood blight in the Caspian region. The forests provideinvaluable economic, social and cultural benefits, and they are vital toenvironmental sustainability with respect to water and soil resourcesand mitigating adverse climatic effects. This project was implementedto support the efforts in establishing a sustainable forest managementsystem to increase the resilience and capacity of the Zagros forestto overcome natural shocks resulting from repeated drought and oakdieback, and of the Caspian forest to overcome the biotic stressescaused by boxwood blight disease.
