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

Description du projet

Les avantages de la restauration des eaux douces et des zones humides du bassin du Danube

Plus de 70 % des zones humides du bassin du Danube ont disparu et celles qui demeurent sont menacées par l’activité humaine. Dans ce contexte, le projet Restore4Life, financé par l’UE, met en évidence les nombreux avantages socio-économiques d’une approche globale et interdisciplinaire de restauration des zones humides d’eau douce et côtières dans le bassin du Danube. Cette initiative entend faciliter le développement de nouvelles infrastructures «bleu-vert», en améliorant la résilience de la région au changement climatique et à son impact. Restore4Life procédera à des démonstrations sur quatre sites et suivra six sites dans le bassin du Danube afin de présenter les avantages de l’apport de meilleures services écosystémiques essentiels tels que la rétention de l’eau et des polluants, le piégeage du carbone et diverses opportunités touristiques.

Objectif

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
