Descripción

This publication provides guidance for reporting on the restoration of freshwater (inland water) ecosystems under Target 2 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. It introduces a definition of “area under restoration” tailored to the unique characteristics of freshwater ecosystems and outlines key considerations for monitoring restoration efforts. By promoting consistent and coherent reporting, the guidelines aim to support countries in tracking progress, enhancing ecological outcomes, and ensuring that these critical but often overlooked ecosystems are effectively restored and maintained.
