2021–2030 was declared in 2019 as the decade on ecosystems restoration by the United Nations General Assembly (www.decadeonrestoration.org). The declaration warns that ecosystem degradation already affects the well-being of almost the half of the world’s population. The declaration therefore emphasizes the urgent need of preventing, halting, reversing ecosystem degradation, and intensifying restoration of degraded and destroyed ecosystems worldwide. Besides its relevance for global issues like global warming and biodiversity loss, restoration of degraded ecosystems is essential to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The UN decade of ecosystems restoration declaration therefore recalls the resolutions of the United Nations Assembly for environment concerning conservation and restoration of vulnerable terrestrial ecosystems.
