Fig. 1: Global archetypes of social-ecological conditions for ecosystem restoration, based on 21 indicators (Supplementary Table 2) representing the biophysical, socio-economic and governance domains, and their relation to restoration pledges.

Note that data on restoration pledges were not used to generate the archetypes, but to contextualize and compare them. a Spatial depiction of archetypes at the country level. Below the map are the boxplots summarizing restoration pledges of countries within each archetype as (b) the proportion of the countries’ area committed for restoration with the respective number of countries in square brackets; and (c) the total area. The mean and median values for each archetype are represented by a solid red line, and the black solid line, respectively. Countries are depicted according to an International Monetary Fund region (shape) and North-South (color) categorization. Y-axes of (b) and (c) are on a logarithmic scale.
