Restoring degraded land
Land is central to people's livelihood and basic needs. The world has high potential of degraded land that can be restored to serve the enhancement of human well-being. However, people have different understanding of degradation which leads to lack of coordinated and impactful actions that are required to realize the potential of degraded land. Clear, inclusive and operational definitions of degradation are required in order to assess needs and benefits of forest and landscape restoration. |
