Abstract: In the 1987 edition of his book - ‘Restoring the Earth: How Americans are Working to Renew
our Damaged Environment’, scientific editor and writer John J. Berger defined environmental restoration
(or “natural resource restoration”) as follows: “… A process in which a damaged resource is renewed.
Biologically. Structurally. Functionally.” On June 5th 2021, World Environment Day, the United
Nations (UN) has officially launched the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, which runs from
2021-2030. Because scientists have identified this time as humanity’s last chance to prevent catastrophic
climate change, mankind really need to make this decade count.
