UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030

The UN Decade aims at restoring the health and productivity of degraded terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. 

we can reduce the loss of biodiversity, mitigate and adapt to climate change, and create jobs and livelihoods. 
By reviving nature we can improve our health, and address the biodiversity and economic crises.

Since we have already destroyed too much, we must: - PROTECT ecosystems that are still in good shape
- HALT degradation everywhere it occurs
- REVERSE degradation wherever possible.

Farmlands, forests, freshwaters, grasslands, savannahs, deserts, shrublands, mountains, oceans, coasts, peatlands, as well as urban areas are all ecosystems.

From mammals to birds, from fish to amphibians, reptiles, insects, mollusks, etc., all is biodiversity.

Grass, trees, flowers and cactus. Conifers, bulbs, herbs and fruits. Biodiversity is all around us.

We have been overexploiting and degrading many ecosystems, causing the erosion of several ecosystem services, which are essential for life on Earth. Now it is time to fix what we have been destroying and to enjoy the benefits of a healthy environment.

The results of our illegal hunting and fishing activities are visible and numerous. 

Here is what you can personally do: 
- Try a more plant-based diet, paying attention to the origin of the products you buy
- Reuse, transform and repair your clothes, furniture and home appliances
- Question your real needs when buying new products

- Avoid or drastically reduce single-use plastic
- Sort and recycle your waste 
- Never dump your waste in the environment
- Stop using pesticides and herbicides, preserve insects, little fauna, as well as flora. Every single animal and plant is important.
