Ecorestoration: An Alternative Approach for Achieving Carbon Neutrality and a Sustainable Future
摘要
Ecorestoration is a cost-effective strategy for achieving carbon neutrality and sustainable development goals. Eco-restoration's multiple benefits in biodiversity and environment improvement are linked to enhanced ecosystem service delivery. Ultimately, the restoration of degraded landscapes through initiatives such as eco-restoration can foster resilient ecosystems that are responsive to all current environmental stressors and climate change impacts. This chapter explores the integration of advanced technologies, including remote sensing and machine learning, to enhance the accuracy of monitoring and managing restoration projects. In addition, it highlights the need to align appropriately with global carbon market frameworks that generate carbon credits, providing financial incentives and investments. Furthermore, the chapter highlights the pressing issues with current approaches and strategies for eco-restoration by examining case studies that demonstrate how it can be a practical and integrated approach towards achieving carbon neutrality, maintaining ecological balance, and securing the future for both natural and human systems.
