This book synthesises information on the invasion of natural ecosystems in Africa by alien Prosopis trees, and how they should be managed. It has a focus on Eastern Africa, but incorporates research findings from elsewhere. It considers conflicting interests of different stakeholder groups and a need to co-design management strategies.
