Abstract

The article discusses the importance of conserving African bistable savannas due to their biodiversity value. It presents an experiment on natural forest regeneration through the exclusion of anthropogenic fire, arguing that it is more effective to let nature restore forests rather than artificially planting or burning. The authors clarify that their study did not advocate for afforestation, but rather focused on natural forest regeneration. They emphasize the need for a thorough understanding of the local context when deciding between restoring forests or protecting savannas. [Extracted from the article]
