As part of a global effort to combat climate change and biodiversity loss, countries have committed to restoring 1 billion hectares of degraded ecosystems. This ambitious goal aligns with international climate, nature, and land objectives as the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030) emphasises the need for effective restoration practices.
