Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) It is appropriate to set an overarching objective for ecosystem restoration to foster the governance of EU- level restoration measures and to facilitate the achievement of specific ecosystems targets. The restoration of ecosystems will foster economic and societal transformation, the creation of high- quality jobs and sustainable growth. Biodiverse ecosystems such as wetland, freshwater, forest as well as agricultural, sparsely vegetated, marine, coastal and urban ecosystems deliver, if in good condition, a range of essential ecosystem services, and the benefits of restoring degraded ecosystems to good condition in all land and sea areas far outweigh the costs of restoration. Those services contribute to a broad range of socio- economic benefits, depending on the economic, social, cultural, regional and local characteristics.
