The 120 countries have committed to set the UNCCD sustainable development
goal on achieving the land degradation neutrality by 2030 including India. The target
has to be accomplished in a synergistic and cost-effective manner in accordance with
countries’ specific national contexts and development priorities. Globally, the ravine
landscapes are considered among the world’s most degraded ecosystems. Therefore,
restoring ravines is considered a high priority item in the natural resource management
programs. The vegetation cover augmented with appropriate conservation measures
is the most sought restoration strategy. The engineering measures are prerequisite for
slope stabilization and sustainable productive utilization in ravine ecosystem. The
several methods for slope stabilization are available but only few are applied in ravine
land. Therefore, in this chapter, we have covered only those slope stabilization techniques
which were successfully applied for the restoration of ravine land
