Increasing the production of food from the ocean is seen as a pathway toward more sustainable and healthier human diets.

Earth's ecosystems, upon which all life depends, are in a severe state of degradation.

Restoring forest cover is a prominent option for climate mitigation.

Restoration thinking provides a new paradigm for charting a bold future that prevents further loss of biodiversity and habitat destruction, avoids catastrophic climate change, and promotes the well

Rewilding should be central to the massive restoration efforts needed to overcome the global biodiversity crisis and enhancing the biosphere's capacity to mitigate climate change.

Agricultural pesticides represent a significant class of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) to which non-target organisms around the world are constantly exposed.
