Strategic Objective 1:
To improve the condition of affected ecosystems, combat desertification/land degradation, promote sustainable land management and contribute to land degradation neutrality.
Target 12:
Restoration is in progress in degraded wetlands, with priority to wetlands that are relevant for biodiversity conservation, disaster risk reduction, livelihoods and/or climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Target 3:
The public and private sectors have increased their efforts to apply guidelines and good practices for the wise use of water and wetlands.
Target 5:
The ecological character of Ramsar sites is maintained or restored, through effective planning and integrated management.
Target 6:
There is a significant increase in area, numbers and ecological connectivity in the Ramsar Site network, in particular under-represented types of wetlands including in under-represented ecoregions and Transboundary Sites.
Target 7:
Sites that are at risk of change of ecological character have threats addressed.
Target 2: Restore 30% of all Degraded Ecosystems:
Ensure that by 2030 at least 30 per cent of areas of degraded terrestrial, inland water, and marine and coastal ecosystems are under effective restoration, in order to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, ecological integrity and connectivity.
