#NarrativesInAction - How sharing stories about river restoration can inspire others to take care of waterways We love this example of how the collective stories we tell can change how people think about important issues like the health of our waterways. In this article the researchers highlight three guiding principles of collective storytelling that can enhance the restoration of rivers, lakes, wetlands and aquifers.

🌿 Introducing the Best Practice Guidelines for Mangrove Restoration 🌊 As global interest in restoring mangrove ecosystems continues to grow, it’s crucial to ensure that restoration efforts are successful and sustainable. The Best Practice Guidelines for Mangrove Restoration compiles the latest scientific and local knowledge into one comprehensive resource, providing a roadmap for effective restoration. This guide aims to align practitioners, NGOs, governments, scientists, local communities, and funders around science-based, inclusive best practices for mangrove restoration at scale. 🔗 Learn More: https://lnkd.in/e-NT7iCy #MangroveRestoration #BestPractices #Sustainability #G20GLI #EcosystemRestoration #ClimateAction

This introductory course has increased my knowledge on wetland ecosystems, and the insights into the multiple values of wetlands, and why they are important for sustainable development.

🌏 Have you seen the new database for coastal and marine restoration projects in Australia and New Zealand? This new repository provides a centralized hub for sharing marine and coastal restoration projects, results and success.  The UN has declared 2021-2030 as the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, highlighting the critical need to restore degraded marine and coastal ecosystems worldwide. While marine and coastal restoration projects have increased in number and scale in recent decades, a central repository of projects and their results has been lacking.    This new database aims to foster knowledge-sharing for the management and success of future marine and coastal restoration efforts, by including information from peer-reviewed articles, reports, and discussions with leading organizations in #restoration.    Explore the database - acrn.org.au/database  Paper (open access) - https://lnkd.in/gvxQN579 #OceanDecade #GenerationRestoration Deakin Research Deakin Marine Research and Innovation Centre   Dr Jemma Hill (Purandare) I Roquelina de Sousa de Saboya I Dr Elisa Bayraktarov I Lisa Boström-Einarsson I Paul Carnell I Aaron Eger I Agnès Le Port I Peter Macreadie I Simon Reeves I Peter H G van Kampen I Nathan Waltham I Melissa Wartman I Ian McLeod 

How can a thriving restoration economy help repair our degraded landscapes? 🌱 In a recent talk for TEDxBoston, Sean DeWitt, Director of Restoration at World Resources Institute explains that whilst we are degrading our planet’s life support systems at an alarming rate, we have the power to restore what we’ve lost. Ecological restoration is a process to regain ecological function and productivity from our damaged ecosystems, and the most effective solutions often come from grassroots movements and local entrepreneurs working in collaboration with the communities that are directly impacted. This includes approaches that: 🌱 Improve soil fertility 🌳 Grow new trees 🎋 Plant native grasses 🌊 Produce new coral reefs “These entrepreneurs and policymakers around the world have opened the door of partnership to each of us. We invite you to join the restoration economy.” - Sean DeWitt 🎥 Watch the TED talk here: https://lnkd.in/dZyR-jjT

📘 New publication!🏔️💧   Learn about #Colombia's newly published Guidelines for High #Mountain Hydroclimatic Monitoring. These guidelines, developed over several years, are critical to the strategy for integrated monitoring in the High Andes ecosystems. Emphasis is on water supply and regulation by systematizing monitoring systems to assess the impacts of change factors on landscapes and management policies. It highlights the importance of a participatory monitoring approach, which is considered a fundamental tool to link communities in different territorial governance schemes. It focuses on conservation, restoration, and productive reconversion initiatives to emphasize the recovery of ecosystem services.   🔗Read more and download the guidelines in Spanish here: https://lnkd.in/eCBpCq64 #MountainsMatter #OurChangingMountains  CONDESAN

We'll always fight for the protection of critical natural areas, especially those designated as having high ecological value. In the face of development, it is more important than ever to support community-focused efforts to secure the future of these lands.

Natural regeneration is the default option for getting #trees and scrub back into the landscape, but there are plenty of places where planting is appropriate. None more so than these 3 examples from the excellent #whiteroseforest #TreesForClimate programme https://lnkd.in/ggKHtKZC This funding pot is part of the #NatureforClimate fund and it is without doubt the most pragmatically flexible and user-friendly multi-million £ government funding scheme I have helped to access funding from in recent decades. It is critically important that the N4C programme and its constituent parts are not subsumed into the quagmire of the Environmental Land Management scheme. I would encourage all nature and climate-focused organisations and individuals with political influence to argue hard for this.
