The benefits of ecosystem restoration: Eleven Lessons Learned from an Analysis of Five European Restoration Initiatives

Ecosystem restoration has the potential to significantly contribute to reversing biodiversity loss, supporting climate change mitigation and adaptation, and increasing societal well-being, including gender equality. This policy brief provides the lessons learned from an analysis of ecosystem restoration benefits. The work draws on the experiences of five successful restoration initiatives within Europe: the Altyn Dala, Carpathian Mountains, European Seas, Gökova Bay, and Danube Delta initiatives.

This brief provides specific recommendations for policymakers that they can consider when supporting restoration initiatives.
