Ecosystem restoration is an inherently participatory act that creates or helps recreate a healthy, mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature. Ecosystem restoration can be implemented at every scale, from hyper-local smallholder to landscape or seascape scale trans-national projects and programmes. Ecosystem restoration inspires individuals and institutions alike, and especially when planned and implemented in combination with sustainable use and conservation, it has the potential to deliver a balanced net gain for people and nature.

The guide explores and explains the intent and practicalities of Target 2. It starts by setting this target into the global context of other global initiatives and national commitments. It provides a detailed look into the key components and intended outcomes, and how Parties can address these in their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs). It explores and compiles a broad suite of globally relevant resources to support countries as they implement the target across terrestrial, inland  
water and coastal and marine ecosystems, as well as production landscapes. The guide builds on the CBD’s Short-Term Action Plan on Ecosystem Restoration (STAPER).
