Maggie Holland, associate professor of geography and environmental systems at UMBC, conducts a focus group with farmers in Ecuador as part of her forest conservation research. This kind of local engagement is critical for creating forest restoration solutions that will be long-lasting and meet community needs and improve livelihoods, while also combating climate change and preserving biodiversity.
