A status report on Assisted Natural Regeneration: What, why, who, where, and how?
In this ANR Alliance white paper, experts summarize the current "state of the art" of Assisted Natural Regeneration, focusing especially on forest, woodland, and savanna ecosystems in the world’s tropical and subtropical regions.

Guide: Assisted Natural Regeneration: A Guide for Restoring Tropical Forests
Innovative and cost-effective ways of restoring forests are urgently needed to meet global restoration and climate targets, and provide forest benefits at scale. Assisted natural regeneration (ANR) works with natural recovery processes to reforest degraded landscapes. Where the conditions are right, it holds great promise to restore biodiverse forests at scale.

Achieving cost-effective landscape-scale forest restoration through targeted natural regeneration
This journal article establishes the vast opportunity for ANR in Brazil, calculates how much money it could save the country’s restoration movement, and demonstrates how much carbon these newly regrown forests could restore.
