BookletManual / guideStandards of practice to guide ecosystem restoration: A contribution to the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration
Summary report
2023Also available in:
No results found.The United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021–2030 (hereafter “UN Decade”) recognizes the critical need to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of the world’s ecosystems. Effective restoration of degraded ecosystems is of paramount importance for recovering biodiversity, ecosystem health and integrity, ecosystem goods and services, climate-change mitigation and human health and well-being. UN Decade partners, through a consultative process, offered ten principles for ecosystem restoration to create a shared vision and increase the likelihood of achieving the highest level of recovery possible. To facilitate application of these principles to restoration projects, the Standards of practice to guide ecosystem restoration (hereafter, Standards of practice) provides key recommendations for the entire restoration process, which can be applicable across all sectors of society, land or sea uses, ecosystems and regions, and to the broad array of ecosystem restoration activities under the UN Decade. The goal of this document is to provide an overview of the Standards of practice. -
BookletEvaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project "Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use into Inland Fisheries Practices in Freshwater Ecosystems of High Conservation Value"
Project code: GCP/INS/303/GFF, GEF ID 5759
2025Also available in:
No results found.The “Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use into Inland Fisheries Practices in Freshwater Ecosystems of High Conservation Value” project, known as IFish, aimed to combine the mainstreaming of inland aquatic biodiversity into resource development and management policy. It also sought to provide demonstrations of conservation and the sustainable use of inland aquatic biodiversity in critical habitats, along with effective monitoring and assessment. The project put inland fisheries “on the map” for Indonesia. Moreover, it truly influenced Indonesia’s policy and regulatory frameworks, demonstrated best practices and strengthened data collection protocols. Capacity building, which still requires additional time and training, was in the early stages at project completion. The project’s sustainability is moderately likely. There is strong national ownership and a clear exit strategy, but certain risks remain. The evaluation provides recommendations that are primarily addressed to FAO and the ministry partner: i) widely disseminate results, lessons learned and stories to maintain momentum and enhance sustainability; ii) build a business case for inland fisheries within three months of project closure; iii) prepare a Project Identification Form to access GEF-8 funding for a potential IFish 2 project; and iv) ensure future projects include a cross-agency project steering committee to streamline synergy and align with related programmes. -
