About this ebook
Restoring landscapes affected by invasive alien plant species is a complex activity requiring a multi-pronged approach. It can take several years and significant investments of time, money,
and resources to restore a single plot. This activity also involves a steep learning curve due to the multiple variables and uncertainties involved.
Drawing from over a decade of experience, this field manual offers insights to help practitioners reduce the learning curve and enhance the potential for success in their efforts to restore areas invaded by Lantana camara. While each restoration project is unique, this manual strives to provide processes and practices that can be applied across projects with contextual modifications. The manual’s extensive use of colour illustrations aims to facilitate a better understanding of the concepts and processes.
