Many countries do not have technologies and resources for the effective tracking of the restoration of degraded ecosystems. FAO launches the initiative to improve the monitoring of ecosystem recovery Climate and environment The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) presented today, on the day of the Earth, a new initiative to improve monitoring and reporting on the restoration of ecosystems. The AIM4NATURE project will complement the existing FAO Aim4Forests program and will create a global data set of progress in the rehabilitation of the environment. “Providing the countries with a technical examination and decisions, as well as the necessary resources for accurate monitoring of progress, we can guarantee that our collective efforts to restore nature will lead to real and long -term results for people and planet during this decade of ecosystem restoration and in the future,” said the CEO Dunyuy. complex recovery ~ 60 > initiative assumes an integrated approach to the restoration of nature, including forests, agricultural vehicles, water-white, as well as pastures and sea ecosystems. 60 > countries of the world have already taken obligations to restore about one billion hectares of land, which can potentially draw up a third of all the efforts necessary to maintain global warming below 2 degrees Celsius by 2030. & amosystems, and the revival of ecosystems also helps to ensure the population. food and sources of livelihood. Nevertheless, many countries do not have technologies and resources for the effective tracking of the restoration of degraded ecosystems. According to a survey conducted by the Secretariat of the Convention on the Biological Diversity, 80 percent of countries announced the inability to collect data in order to report on progress. ~ 60 >~ 60 > from obligations-to the results of at the resumed meeting of the 16th Conference of the parties to the Convention on the biological diversity in Rome earlier this year recognized the need to strengthen the support of this activity and invited the FAO to lead these efforts. AIM4NATURE will solve this problem, providing countries with access to advanced technologies and promoting the development of potential aimed at creating a unified global database. This will allow you to move from abstract obligations to specific and tested results. ~ 60 > In addition, standard formats and protocols for harmonization and aggregation of national data in the global system will be developed. This will increase transparency and comparability, and will also reduce the load on countries. 60 > special attention will be paid to the support of indigenous peoples in monitoring the restoration of the environment “with a biocentric perspective”. This is the name of a holistic approach, focused on the well -being of all living things in the ecosystem. A pilot project with the participation of the FAO unit for working with indigenous peoples will be implemented in Brazil and Peru.
