"Drylands cover nearly half of the earth's land surface and are home to one-third
of the global population. They face extraordinary challenges, including those posed
by desertification, biodiversity loss, poverty, food insecurity and climate change.
Up to 20 percent of the world's drylands are degraded, and people living there are
often locked into a vicious circle of poverty, unsustainable practices and environmental
degradation. It is clear that serious efforts are needed to arrest dryland degradation
and restore degraded lands, and the simple but urgent aim of these guidelines is to
support such efforts It is the first time that global guidelines on dryland restoration
are made available. These guidelines target two main groups – policymakers and other
decision-makers, and practitioners – because both have the power to bring about positive
change. While they should be tailored to suit regional and local contexts, they present
the essential components for the design, implementation and sustainability of restoration
initiatives that can help build ecological and social resilience and generate benefits
for local livelihoods. As illustrated by the rich case studies provided, the guidelines
involve a vast range of actions, from on-the-ground activities such as habitat protection,
assisted natural regeneration, sand-dune stabilization and planting, to policy improvements,
provision of financial incentives, capacity development, and continuous monitoring
and learning. Moreover, they show that restoration needs to be considered across the
entire market value chain, from seed to end-product, as well as at the landscape level,
including the mosaic of land uses, needs and expectations of interest groups."--Publisher's
