The theme of World Environment Day 2021 is “Ecosystem restoration”.
“This year marks the beginning of the United Nations Decade on ecosystem restoration – explains Environment Minister Stéphanie Lescouzère -. Ecosystem restoration can be done in many ways: growing trees, greening cities, rearranging gardens, changing diets or cleaning rivers and coasts.
By 2030, restoring 350 million hectares of degraded terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems could generate $ 9 trillion in ecosystem services. The restoration could also remove 13 to 26 gigatons of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. The economic benefits of these interventions exceed nine times the cost of investments. The Templar Nation will always be at the forefront to save the Planet ”.
