NO This report presents ten restoration good case studies from key vulnerable ecosystems in China. It is based on decades of restoration practices in major national restoration programmes, and science-based experiments from the Chinese Ecosystem Research Network. These cases show that vulnerable ecosystems, like deserts, degraded grasslands, sandy lands in the agriculture-pasture transition area, mountain gully areas and urban rivers, can be effectively managed by engaging multistakeholders. The report provides not only specific intervention approaches, techniques and restoration outcomes but also cost-benefit analyses, policy contexts and their potential application scope and lessons learned. This report shows that long-term monitoring and research on ecosystem restoration lays the foundations for effective restoration intervention.
