Restoration of wetland complexes as life supporting systems in the Danube Basin

Descripción del proyecto

Beneficios de la restauración de los humedades costeros y de agua dulce de la cuenca del Danubio

Más del 70 % de los humedales de la cuenca del Danubio se han perdido, y los que quedan están amenazados por la actividad humana. En este contexto, el proyecto Restore4Life, financiado con fondos europeos, pone de relieve las numerosas ventajas socioeconómicas de adoptar un planteamiento holístico e interdisciplinar a la hora de restaurar los humedales costeros y de agua dulce de la cuenca del Danubio. El objetivo de esta iniciativa es facilitar el desarrollo de nuevas infraestructuras verdes y azules que aumenten la resiliencia al cambio climático y sus impactos en la región. En Restore4Life se llevarán a cabo demostraciones en cuatro emplazamientos y se supervisarán otros seis en la cuenca del Danubio para, de este modo, ejemplificar las ventajas de la mejora de la prestación de servicios ecosistémicos básicos como, por ejemplo, la retención de agua y contaminantes, la captura de carbono y las oportunidades turísticas.

Objetivo

Restore4Life demonstrates the multiple socio-economic benefits generated by a holistic and transdisciplinary approach for the restoration of freshwater and coastal wetlands in the Danube basin that will contribute to new blue-green infrastructure supporting regional climate change resilience and mitigation. Restore4Life engages in 4 demonstration sites and 6 monitoring sites all across the Danube basin to make evident that increased delivery of key ecosystem services, as water and pollutant retention, carbon sequestration and tourism opportunities as well as improved resilience of water-dependent habitats will produce multiple socio-economic synergies that also provide opportunities for sustainable businesses and investments.

Implementation of activities basically aiming to restore lateral connectivity in riverine corridors will be supported by a Restore4Life long term wetland restoration service/ Restore4Life Wetland Reconstruction Accelerator that combines timely integrative wetland management with a novel level of societal engagement. The Accelerator will provide tested indicators, monitoring approaches and decision support to identify adapted and future-oriented restoration goals, techniques and holistic road maps. Citizens and stakeholders will be empowered to engage in the co-design of projects by establishing stakeholder communities of practice, by twinning of similar projects at different realization stage, citizen science, thematic mobile apps and the use of multiple communication channels with special focus on visual, hands-on interactive information flow that promotes emotional links to water shaped environment. The various tools generated by Restore4Life also including handbooks for business audiences and targeted restoration roadmaps will secure the efficient replication of restoration activities in associated regions. In collaboration with similar mission activities, Restore4Life thus efficiently supports integrative social and economic transitions
