Synopsis (short abstract) The United Nations (UN) Decade of Ecosystem Restoration aims to foster a global movement to stop, prevent and reverse the degradation of ecosystems. The Decade offers an unparalleled opportunity for ongoing restoration efforts to be scaled up and for the creation of an enabling environment for further restoration action. To guide the implementation of the Decade, a Consortium was formed between the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), who is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU)/International Climate Initiative (IKI), and three participating partners, including FAO, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The Consortium developed a 2021 2030 strategy and implementation plan for the Decade, which consists of three goals and nine activities.

    Principles for ecosystem restoration to guide the United Nations Decade 2021–2030 2021
    Also available in:
    To support the implementation of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and help achieve its goals, there is a need for a shared vision of ecosystem restoration. A key step in creating a shared vision of ecosystem restoration is to adopt principles that underpin the full set of ecosystem restoration activities. To this end, this brochure presents ten principles for ecosystem restoration including a first principle that orients restoration in the context of the UN Decade, followed by nine best-practice principles. These best-practice principles detail the essential tenets of ecosystem restoration that should be followed to maximize net gain for native biodiversity, ecosystem health and integrity, and human health and well-being, across all biomes, sectors and regions.

    Boosting Restoration, Income, Development, and Generating Ecosystem Services (BRIDGES) in Eritrea, Mauritania and the Sudan - GCP/INT/340/TUR 2024
    Also available in:
    In 2007, the African Union (AU) launched the implementation of the Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative, which aims to tackle deforestation, desertification, biodiversity loss, climate change, food insecurity and poverty in Africa’s drylands through the establishment of productive green landscapes, ultimately increasing the prosperity and resilience of the millions of people living in targeted areas. The Boosting Restoration, Income, Development, Generating Ecosystem Services (BRIDGES) Project was designed within the framework of the GGW programme and aimed to strengthen the work being done on large-scale land restoration in Eritrea, Mauritania, and the Sudan, three countries with a high level of desertification and land degradation.The project was centred around the achievement of three main results that were based on its Outputs: (i) the creation of an enabling environment and the building of capacities; (ii) the restoration of degraded lands and the implementation of sustainable land management practices; and (iii) effective knowledge management, communications and visibility.
