“…Riparian ecosystems today face a serious threat from various development activities around the world (Capon et al 2013;Arsenio et al 2020). It is time to restore them since they support unique biodiversity and since their restoration will help in attaining the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (Basak et al 2021). It will have a global significance in terms of increasing biodiversity and carbon sequestration, improvement in the weather, hydrology, etc.…”

“…The riparian ecosystem serves as a linear ecological corridor for a range of species, from lower aquatic types to large herbivores such as elephants, since rivers pass through multiple habitats (Johnsingh et al 1990;Basak et al 2021). Most of the elephant corridors and linking ties between different habitats in the Western Ghats of India are aligned with rivers, streams, and flood plains due to gradient slopes (Johnsingh et al 1990;Easa 2005;Menon et al 2005;Sukumar 2006;Rameshan et al 2014).…”

“…The restoration of the riparian ecosystem is inevitable as significant changes occurred in its structure and functions due to human interferences (Wissmar, 1998). The riparian ecorestoration is more critical than other eco-restoration ventures and is instrumental in the conservation and recovery of aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity habitats (Fremier et al 2015;Arsenio et al 2020;Basak et al 2021). The restoration of riparian ecosystems is globally significant as it supports large human populations, biodiversity, and critical ecosystem services (Daigneault et al 2017).…”

“…RER is directly linked to the achievement of many UN-SDGs, including (i) climate action, (ii) life below water, and (iii) life on land. It is indirectly related to (i) no poverty, (ii) zero hunger, (iii) good health and wellbeing, (iv) gender equality, (v) clean water and sanitation, (vi) sustainable cities and communities, (vii) responsible consumption and production, and (viii) partnerships for the goals (Basak et al 2021). Mohan et al (2020) proposed a scheme for sustainable RER, where various stages of restoration activities are centred on the stakeholders, such as local forest-dependent communities and other local stakeholders.…”

Restoring Riparian Ecosystems During the UN-Decade on Ecosystem Restoration: A Global Perspective

Ecosystems across the globe, be it terrestrial, marine or transitional in nature are under pressure due to multiple drivers of changes including anthropogenic. Restoring the vitality of degraded systems is crucial for fulfilling the UN-Sustainable Development Goals in a timely manner. It is also essential for attaining the targets of the ambitious UN-Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (UN-DER). Riparian ecosystems are one among systems undergoing drastic changes due to anthropogenic pressures. They are a heterogeneous and biodiversity rich system due to its transitional zone occurrence between terrestrial and aquatic realms, including riverbanks, floodplains and wetlands, and provide ecosystem services on both local as well as global levels. Here we review the prospects of restoring riparian ecosystems in the context of the UN-DER. Even though the momentum for restoring riparian habitats began in the 1970s, our study reveals that intensive restoration programmes across the world are sparse and more efforts are needed to restore degraded riparian systems for regaining ecosystem health and complexity. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis of various strategies deployed for restoring riparian ecosystems around the world reveals that a participatory approach and site-specific strategies are needed for better output. Also, active along with passive restoration is required for better recovery. We suggest a three-stage strategy-preassessment, restoration activities and post monitoring and maintenance. It includes the involvement of stakeholders across all stages, which also supports their livelihoods. The restoration of riparian ecosystems supports the targets of UN-DER while providing both global as well as local ecosystem services.

“…Devido ao crescimento urbano desordenado, aos avanços tecnológicos, a degradação do meio ambiente nos canais hídricos que se intensificam a cada dia. A zona ripária e os rios, podem ser considerados elementos principais da paisagem urbana, e que a partir destas resultaram no surgimento das cidades (BASAK et al, 2021).…”

A importância dos rios no ambiente urbano deve ser sempre muito bem ressaltada em função dos benefícios e dos serviços ecossistêmicos que representam para o funcionamento das cidades. A busca por soluções de recuperação ou revitalização de rios urbanos têm sido uma crescente necessidade para as cidades. O uso e ocupação dos solos nas zonas ripárias pode ser considerado um tema emergente no quesito de estudos ambientais. pois retrata que degradação das zonas ripárias em áreas urbanas, está atrelada a problemas de natureza ambiental, social e econômico. Essa urbanização desenfreada aliada à falta de planejamento urbano e gestão ambiental denota diversos problemas às estruturas das cidades. Desta forma, as zonas ripárias dos centros urbanos, necessitam de estudos e instrumentos por ações de recuperação ou revitalização. O presente trabalho se refere sobre um método de diagnóstico e tipificação das zonas riparias impactadas em determinadas classes, e após essa classificação sugere-se a possibilidade da execução de simples ações e projetos para mitigação dos impactos na área analisada.

The decommissioning of offshore platforms has been increasingly discussed due to its economic, social, and environmental impacts. The high complexity of this multilevel context pushes for the adoption of a service ecosystem view to explore the value propositions and actors' relations involved in resource exchanges. This study follows a mixed-method approach based on semistructured interviews conducted with oil and gas stakeholders and content analysis of the secondary data collected.The results highlight the ecosystem elements and identify the main drivers for sustainable growth in the process of the reconversion of oil and gas assets. A "meta" level is theorized to investigate how the actors' purposes can be harmonized with an ecosystem's goal to encourage the diffusion of a sustainable-oriented culture in the context of offshore decommissioning. In this sense, the study provides several insights for researchers and professionals in both the local and national governance field and the oil and gas industry.
