Expanding Native Forests:                            Create a buffer zone around the forest and let the forest expand, then put a buffer around that so that over time, possibly generations, but hopefully with the proper assistance, quicker, native areas get bigger and are also linked by generating 'corridors'.  Jobs are created in forestry environmental study in the buffers and forest.  I use the term 'environmental study' because the word 'management' implies straightening something which we do not like, but, is perfectly acceptable to nature.  As the buffers slowly get bigger more people are employed.  Depending on the area wildlife and plant diversity is encouraged which means employment for scientists (botanists, biologists, medical applications, water quality and/or purity)/caretakers (feral plant eradication/study?).

Jobs in ECO tourism can also be probable, along with education possibilities and with rangers who over time will get experience with the variations and transit difficulties about the area.

In the case of fires, should they be fought, or controlled only at their edges, or in the buffers?  Extra training so the scientists fight fires?

Among possible drawbacks is accommodation, which implies pets making difficulties (feral dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other assorted creatures).  Tracks/paths/roads which allow access over time can become wider and if not controlled exacerbate deterioration rather than repair it.
