Description

This report presents the case for why we all must throw our weight behind a global restoration effort.

Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, it explains the crucial role played by ecosystems from forests and farmland to rivers and oceans, and charts the losses that result from our poor stewardship of the planet.

While restoration science is a youthful discipline, we already have the knowledge and tools we need to halt degradation and restore ecosystems.

Farmers, for instance, can draw on proven restorative practices such as sustainable farming and agroforestry.

Landscape approaches that give all stakeholders, including women and minorities, a say in decision-making are simultaneously supporting social and economic development and ecosystem health. And policy makers and financial institutions are realising the huge need and potential for green investment
