Advancing the evidence and methods for nature restoration
Assessing nature restoration requires evidence that spans ecosystems, sectors, locations and timescales — including benefits and costs that are difficult to measure or compare.
NatuRISE will develop and connect datasets, indicators, models and methods to strengthen the scientific basis for understanding the socio-economic impacts of restoration.
Exploring the socio-economic, cultural and recreational dimensions of forest restoration and the trade-offs between different ecosystem services and land-use objectives.
Exploring how wetland and grassland restoration interacts with land management, local livelihoods and the different benefits and costs experienced by stakeholders.
Exploring restoration choices in a context where agricultural production, ecosystem condition and local socio-economic priorities need to be considered together.
Exploring the socio-economic implications of freshwater ecosystem restoration and the interactions between ecological objectives, land use and wider economic impacts.
