BIBLIOGRAPHY
Many of the practices recommended in the Standards of practice were drawn directly from the publications below, representing the work of many experts, agencies and organizations over decades. Thus, all the authors who contributed to these publications, including ecosystem restoration practitioners, contributed to the development of the Standards of practice. We are grateful for their individual and collective contributions, which made development of the Standards of practice possible. Although recommended practices generally were modified to synthesize recommendations among publications and maximize application to the broad array of restorative activities under the UN Decade, in some cases, the original wording of recommendations has been maintained.
