Summary of the ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION PLAYBOOK

Core Content

The ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION PLAYBOOK is a practical guide developed for World Environment Day 2021, launching the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030). It outlines how individuals, communities, organizations, and governments can take part in a global movement to restore ecosystems, which are vital for sustaining life on Earth.

Main Goals

To prevent, halt, and reverse ecosystem degradation.
To secure a sustainable future for all by restoring natural systems.
To engage everyone in the restoration movement, whether through action, choices, or raising awareness.

Key Information

Why Ecosystems Are Important

Ecosystems are the web of life on Earth, providing essential services such as:

Stable climate and breathable air
Water, food, and materials
Protection from disasters and disease
Support for physical and mental health
Cultural and spiritual value

They are under threat from:

Deforestation, pollution, overfishing, land conversion, and climate change.

How to Join #GenerationRestoration

There are three main pathways to participate in the restoration movement:

Actions: Engage in on-the-ground restoration, such as planting trees, cleaning up natural areas, or supporting existing initiatives.
Choices: Make sustainable consumer decisions and encourage others to do the same.
Voices: Advocate for restoration through public discussions, campaigns, or media.

Who Can Participate

Individuals: Change habits and consumer behavior.
Faith leaders and groups: Promote restoration through teachings and community projects.
Businesses: Use resources and skills to support local restoration.
Workers and unions: Campaign for the protection of workers affected by ecosystem degradation.
Teachers: Educate students and involve them in restoration activities.
Youth groups: Raise awareness and mobilize action.
Civil society organizations: Poll members, develop strategies, and build alliances.
Cities and local authorities: Implement sustainable policies and support restoration efforts.
Farmers and livestock keepers: Restore farmland and grasslands while managing land sustainably.
Indigenous people: Leverage traditional knowledge and promote sustainable land use.
Women: Integrate restoration with efforts to address gender inequality.
Governments: Create supportive policies and fund restoration projects.
Scientists: Research, monitor, and develop solutions for ecosystem restoration.

Key Principles and Guidelines

Get everyone on board: Engage all stakeholders and consider their perspectives.
Set goals and measure progress: Define clear objectives and use measurable indicators.
Help nature help itself: Support natural processes and use indigenous species.
