What is it about?
Ecological restoration is an intentional activity that initiates or accelerates the recovery of an ecosystem with respect to its health, integrity and sustainability. The book Ecological Restoration in International Environmental Law is a timely and classic scholarly contribution towards an understanding of the conceptual and doctrinal foundations of ecological restoration law and policy.

Why is it important?
Ecological restoration will present the next big challenge for global environmental law and policy. The United Nations General Assembly on 1 March 2019, declared 2021–2030 as the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. The aim is to massively scale up the restoration of degraded and destroyed ecosystems as a proven measure to fight the climate crisis and enhance food security, water supply and biodiversity.
Perspectives
The book is highly recommended as a thought-provoking resource to environmental lawyers, conservation biologists and restoration ecologists, academics, researchers, as well as other stakeholders working to further the objectives of ecological restoration.
