Statement from the Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity, on the occasion of International Mother Earth Day 2026.
Revive the ecosystems that sustain us.
Did you know that globally over 2 billion hectares of land are degraded? Or that the number and duration of droughts has risen by 29% since 2000? Finding solutions to these global problems is crucial. That is why it is important to focus on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience . The Ecosystem Restoration Playbook: A Practical Guide to Healing the Planet describes approaches to restoring eight important types of ecosystems – forests, farmlands, grassland and savannahs, rivers and lakes, oceans and coasts, towns and cities, peatlands, and mountains. By taking these recommended actions, you can become part of a #GenerationRestoration !
