Resumen
Descripción
Based on official reports, this compendium illustrates how projects funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), designed and implemented by FAO in close collaboration with national counterparts in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2013 to 2023, are concretely contributing to achieving the objectives of the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. These projects have been instrumental in addressing critical biodiversity challenges in the region, where biodiversity is rich but threatened. FAO has worked in partnership with local governments, community organizations and other key stakeholders to develop strategies and actions that not only protect biodiversity, but also foster sustainable development and community resilience.In particular, this document focuses on Goal 02: Restore 30 percent of all degraded ecosystems.To this end, ecological restoration strategies, both active -mainly afforestation- and passive -removing disturbing agents-were designed and implemented in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
