Journal Article
Hurdles and Opportunities for Landscape-Scale Restoration
2013
Overview
Gaps in knowledge must be identified, capacities developed, and research translated into policy and practice. A priority outcome from the 2012 United Nations Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development ( 1 ) was the target to restore, by 2020, 150 million ha of disturbed and degraded land globally ( 2 ). An initiative of this scale is estimated to cost U.S.$18 billion per year and to provide U.S. $ 84 billion per year to the global economy ( 2 ). Although such initiatives have transformative potential because of their scope and backing, they require technology and knowledge capacity to deliver proven, scalable restoration ( 3 ). Restoration processes must achieve the greatest value for money, as far as socioeconomic and biodiversity conservation outcomes, while avoiding costly and simplistic plantings ( 4 ).
