This edited book delves into the intricate details of forest deforestation and degradation, shedding light on their profound connection to land degradation. It highlights the often-overlooked role of poor natural resource management in the depletion of resources, particularly the degradation of land, which poses significant barriers to achieving land degradation neutrality (LDN). The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 15.3 explicitly calls for combating desertification, restoring degraded land, and achieving a land degradation-neutral world by 2030. To accomplish these ambitious goals, a comprehensive multidirectional approach is imperative, involving policymakers, field functionaries, researchers, and educators alike.

The book compiles the field experiences and wisdom of some of the foremost experts in the field of land degradation, drawing from their extensive research and expertise. Its objective is to disseminate the current status of land degradation, emphasize its importance, and share inspiring success stories of reclaiming degraded land. Additionally, the book offers valuable insights and strategies for achieving land degradation neutrality, serving as a valuable resource for students, researchers, practitioners, and policy planners.

This edited book serves as a comprehensive repository of knowledge on land degradation neutrality, providing a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of this issue and contribute to its resolution. By exploring the link between forest deforestation, degradation, and land degradation, it sheds light on the urgent need for sustainable land management practices and promotes a more holistic approach to achieving a sustainable future.
