Czech Republic —
The National Biodiversity Strategy 2016-2025 contains 2 objectives mapped to ABT15. Objective 3.4 (soil and mineral resources) aims to reduce the risk of water and wind erosion and increase organic matter contained in the soil. A priority measure is to complete, by 2020, the legislative process to amend the Act on the Protection of Agricultural Land Resources and consistently enforce legislative obligations. Objective 3.5 (ecosystem maintenance and restoration) aims to: reduce negative effects of suburbanization on the ecological stability of the landscape; improve the protection of significant landscape elements; increase the share of reclamation after mining through spontaneous succession; and improve landscape connectivity. Priority measures (2020) include inter alia: elaboration of a methodology to evaluate the use of developed areas; definition of areas in which construction activity can be carried out in zoning plans; examination of the adequacy of legislation on meadows conservation (vis-à-vis construction activity) and limiting areas in diluvial areas in which construction activity can be carried out; and introduction of a central registry of Important Landscape Features (ILF).

Guyana —
Strategic Objective 1 of NBSAP 2012-2020 aims to “Improve the status of biodiversity by conserving ecosystems, species and genetic diversity and by restoring biodiversity and ecosystem services in degraded areas”. It is mapped to 3 ABTs (ABT11, ABT 14 and ABT15) and comprises 13 priority actions. Among them, the following contribute more specifically to ABT15: conduct of mangrove species mapping and inventory; rehabilitation, restoration and protection of mangrove belts; exploration of new models to combine ecological restoration and creation of small businesses in mangrove areas; assessment of the level of degradation in mined-out areas; rehabilitation and restoration of degraded areas with a particular focus on mined-out areas; promotion of soil health through the prudent utilization of biological, chemical and physical methods in an ecosystem agronomic approach. A target associated to Strategic Objective 1 is to have by, by 2015, at least 3 mined-out sites duly restored and managed. (NBSAP)

Eswatini —
The Eswatini Water Development Enterprise (ESWADE) conducts Land and Water Inventories to determine the state of the land and water in project areas. The National Environment Fund under the Eswatini Environment Authority (EEA) has enabled implementation of measures aimed at community rehabilitation. The rehabilitation of dongas has been supported through the planting of trees in degraded areas and construction of gabions by stakeholders (including NGOs, government departments and parastatal organizations). The method of fencing off degraded ecosystems has been employed to protect and restore these ecosystems and the services they provide to communities. Measures have also been taken in relation to desilting and improving runoff water infiltration across the country, including: dredging of head ponds to increase dam water holding capacities reduced by siltation; construction of terrace channels to slow runoff water and promote infiltration; and construction of water diversion channels to minimize erosion.

Kyrgyzstan —
Priority is given to restoration of degraded ecosystems and prevention of land degradation, including protection and rational use of soil, in the national policy for sustainable development and environmental security. All ministries and agencies are required to implement the Action Plan 2014-2020 for “Priorities for Biodiversity Conservation up to 2024”. Related actions are also mainstreamed in the National Sustainable Development Strategy 2018-2023 (and 2013-2017 version), Ecological Safety Concept 2005-2020, and the National Action Plan to Combat Desertification 2015-2020. Evidence points to negative trends in changes in carbon content in the country’s soils. The creation of artificial plantations is one of the adaptation priorities of the forest industry, for which appropriate infrastructure and funding are already in place. The Program for Nut Crops Development until 2025 is being implemented to increase forest cover. From 2014 to 2017, walnut forest crops were planted on an area of 2,771 hectares with four specialized nurseries to provide high-quality planting material. In addition, an FAO-GEF project (Sustainable Management of Mountainous Forest and Land Resources under Climate Change Conditions) was implemented from 2014 to 2019 and is expected to contribute to enhancing forest and agricultural productivity (and increase the incomes of persons living in mountainous regions), maintaining the flow of ecosystem services, including increasing carbon stocks in forest and agricultural ecosystems.

Croatia —
The country’s natural environment is relatively well preserved and as such the primary focus of the nature protection sector is on conservation (restoration projects are carried out occasionally). Through the Naturavita Project 2015-2023, actions are being carried out to demine, reconstruct and protect forests, forest land and water resources in the project area, in which it is suspected still exist a significant number of minefields. Areas contaminated by mines will be rehabilitated through restoration of forests and valuable natural habitats, appropriate infrastructure for combating forest fires, educational infrastructure for raising awareness of biodiversity and mine risk, and establishment of a monitoring system which will inter alia contribute to the preservation of water of good quality. The project aims to demine 2,534 ha of forest and forest land in the Mura-Drava Regional Park and Kopački rit Nature Park, as well as restore 1021 ha of forest (of this total, 441 ha of alien tree species will be replaced with native species).

Colombia —
The National Restoration Plan was launched in 2015 and has a 20-year horizon. Local communities are participating in both implementation and monitoring which ensures that they receive direct benefits from restoration activities. A national map of areas in need of restoration has been prepared. Work is also being carried out to establish a National Advisory Committee on Restoration. Also, through the 20x20 Initiative and the Bonn Challenge, Colombia has pledged to restore 1 000.000 ha by 2020. As of 2017, a total of 598,100 ha was in the process of being restored (actions are being taken through various planning and regulatory instruments, all of which call for rigorous social consensus and standards for integrating minorities and ethnic groups in activities). Furthermore, several restoration initiatives are being carried out within the National Natural Parks System, within the framework of the Institutional Strategic Plan (2007-2019) and the Participatory Ecological Restoration Strategy. The Colombian Network of Civil Society Nature Reserves possesses significant experience in restoration and provides support to affiliates in this area. Related research is also being carried out by various institutions, including the Humboldt Institute, the National University of Colombia, the Amazon Institute for Scientific Research, and the National Corporation of Forestry Research and Development.

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland —
At the international level, the UK has contributed to implementation of ABT15 through support provided to countries in relation to projects initiated under The Darwin Initiative. For example, a project, led by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, aims to improve livelihoods, reduce poverty, conserve biodiversity and offset carbon in Nepal through the use of invasive plant biomass for alternative, carbon-sensitive bioenergy sources. Another Darwin Initiative project, led by the University of Exeter, deals with preventing Borneo’s peatland fires to protect health, livelihood and biodiversity. This project is addressing Borneo’s biodiverse peat-swamp forests that are being destroyed by annual fires which cause huge public health problems and destroy large swathes of rainforest, while releasing carbon and contributing to climate change. The project will restore drained and deforested peatlands and encourage behaviour change amongst local communities, while simultaneously tackling fire impacts. (6NR)
