We couldn’t agree more. Researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) found that “placing social justice at the center of restoration practice remains vital to success, with ecological targets aligned to local social, economics and cultural ones.”
“Too often there is a superficial consideration of justice, creating unjust interactions and outcomes which impede the effective long-term restoration and protection of both nature and human well-being. However, there are increasing numbers of ‘bright spots’ of just and transformative restoration, many involving Indigenous Peoples, and these case studies provide evidence of what works and illustrate how deeper justice leverage points are actionable in practice.” – Prof. Rodriguez, UEA School of Global Development
