Complete Title: 
Dead planet, living planet : biodiversity and ecosystem restoration for sustainable development
Non IUCN Publication

Publisher:

Abstract: 

This report is a contribution to the UN's International Year of Biodiversity and is a complement to the UNEP-hosted Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) which is bringing visibility to the wealth of the world's natural capital. It documents over 30 successful case studies referencing thousands of restoration projects ranging from deserts and rainforests to rivers and coasts. The report confirms that restoration is not only possible but can prove highly profitable in terms of public savings; returns and the broad objectives of overcoming poverty and achieving sustainability. It also provides important recommendations on how to avoid pitfalls and how to minimize risks to ensure successful restoration. "Dead planet, living planet: biodiversity and ecosystem restoration for sustainable development" is part of UNEP's evolving work on the challenges but also the inordinate opportunities from a transition to a low carbon, resource efficient Green Economy.
