Details:From forests to peatlands to coral reefs, our survival depends upon services provided by the healthy ecosystems of our planet. But globally, ecosystems of all kinds are under unprecedented threat in terms of degradation or destruction due to anthropogenic pressure and global climate change. For example, a forest size of one football ground is lost every three seconds from the earth, severely compromising ecosystem services that we receive from the forest as a biodiversity hub, climate amelioration, and carbon sequestration. United Nations has declared the next ten years as the ‘Decade on Ecosystem Restoration’ on the eve of world environment day, June 05, 2021, to achieve two primary goals, bending the climate curve and put a stall on sixth mass extinction and biodiversity loss.
