CONSULTING FOR ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION

Scientifically grounded, with a goal of creating meaningful restoration interventions.

It's the UN decade of ecological restoration. We have considerably altered our planet, but negative impacts can still be halted and reversed. Countries, companies, private people and organisations thrive to minimise their environmental footprint and are taking action to store carbon via reforestation & restoration project.

The message is clear: First and foremost, companies, governments and private people need to reduce their environmental impacts. Then steps can be taken to 'compensate' for emissions or biodiversity losses through nature based solutions, such as reforestation or ecological restoration.

I help to advice companies and non-governmental institutions on how to approach this problem holistically, how to design restoration interventions, how to choose restoration sites and create on the ground impact. To me it is paramount that restoration projects thrive to achieve the triple goals of biodiversity conversation, carbon storage & improvement of livelihoods!
 
My mission is to make sure that the right kind of restoration projects happen in the right place & for the right reasons. It's not all about tree planting, it's about ecological restoration and realistic restoration at a landscape level. It's also not all about forests - there's a plethora of ecosystems that we humans have degraded and that deserve restoration, from wetlands to grasslands, salt marshes to mountain habitats.

Reach out to me to discuss potential steps & opportunities. I will provide 60min of initial free consulting and we can see where we take it from there!

Now it's your opportunity to be part of #GenerationRestoration.

Global Forest watch

Deforestation is one of the most harmful processes of global change, resulting in biodiversity loss, desertification and exacerbating climate change.

Globalforestwatch.org tracks deforestation across the world by using satellite data in a very clever way! They also provide data on biodiversity and climate - all satellite and big data-base derived!
