Ecosystem restoration is essential for reversing biodiversity loss and mitigating climate change. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF) offer a global roadmap for these efforts. By aligning national strategies with these frameworks and fostering international collaboration, we can create a sustainable future for both nature and humanity. This article highlights global strategies, lessons from past biodiversity targets, and key requirements for integrating restoration into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs).
