Project description
Restoration of European wetlands
Countless plants and animals depend on Europe’s wetlands, providing ideal conditions for a vast diversity of habitats and species. Wetlands also support a range of public goods and ecosystem services, for example providing water. With 50 % of European wetlands having disappeared in the last century, protecting them is a priority. The EU-funded WaterLANDS project will tackle large-scale restoration of wetland sites across Europe that have been decimated by human activity. Going beyond simple restoration, WaterLANDS will synthesise existing knowledge of ecology, community, governance and finance, and best-practice models for scalable, resilient restoration. WaterLANDS will also engage with local communities and stakeholders to ensure that wetland restoration results in tangible community gains, alongside environmental rehabilitation.
