  • Instructions

    1. Establish targets for ecosystem restoration in terms of land area. Targets may be set
    in a participatory manner, using the Restoration Opportunity Assessment Methodology
    (Laestadius et al., 2014) and, when applicable, consider the results of ecosystem risk
    assessment (Valderrábano et al., 2021). Collaborative regional restoration efforts may
    be included if the local government is at least a supporting partner.
    2. Sum up the land area of terrestrial and/or wetland habitats that have undergone
    restoration efforts in the last year. The types of restoration include:*
    ● Conversion of grey infrastructure to green
    ● Creation of blue and green spaces
    ● Restoration of catchment zones
    ● Creation and enhancement of habitats for native species
    ● Rehabilitation of extractive areas
