The goal of restoring ecosystems is completely aligned with IUCN’s vision of `A Just world that values and conserves nature’. Of course this means that we have ambitions to see the threat of deforestation and ecosystem degradation stopped. But, in addition, our role in “helping the world to find pragmatic solutions to our most pressing environment and development challenges” pushes us to seek practical nature-based solutions. This is why we have been intensively involved in restoration work for more than 10 years.
