The aim of LLS is to catalyse the sustainable use and conservation of forest biodiversity and ecosystem services for the benefit of the rural poor. The LLS approach sees forests as part of a landscape and not as an isolated land use. Together forests, agriculture and other land uses form landscape mosaics that can provide income, and goods & services to the rural poor.
