Abstract

Tropical forests are highly regenerative, and people who live there often support natural regeneration and reforestation, so it is critical to report on these and not only on forest loss (deforestation). Titling Indigenous community territories (ICTs) can prevent outsiders from taking over degraded forest areas for other uses, thereby supporting more forest regeneration.
