Australian grassy community restoration: Recognizing what is achievable and charting a way forward
Paul Gibson‐Roy
Abstract
Given the urgent need for revegetation to address the climate and biodiversity crises, Paul Gibson‐Roy describes here how grassy ecosystem restoration technologies are ripe for scaling up. Buoyed by local and other examples of success he calls for action by regulators and the agricultural, land management and restoration sectors to refine legislation and tailor their environmental programs to, with gusto, support complex grassy ecosystem restoration at scale to deliver both biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation.
