Our planet is in the midst of an ecological emergency, according to several recent reports. Deteriorating biodiversity is putting food security, economies as well as human health and well-being at risk.
Reversing this ecological decline requires restoration initiatives to incorporate the needs, interests and knowledge of both men and women.
This month, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) released a global assessment finding that the health of ecosystems is deteriorating more rapidly than ever.
This is happening despite the efforts of several global restoration initiatives. Scientists say that such alliances would be more successful if they were more equitable.
