Aafke Schipper and Jelle Hilbers of our Environmental Science department have recently started the research project #NatureRestoreR. This project contributes to making nature restoration in Europe more effective and targeted. The central aim is to develop a user-friendly ecological modelling toolkit that supports policymakers and practitioners in designing and optimising national nature restoration plans.

Real restoration happens when environmental targets go together with economic support.

We support the #NatureRestoration Law and call for:
🍃 putting European ecosystems on the path to recovery;

#RewildingEurope - Space for Wild Nature: Putting Nature Back on the Map

"Large-scale restoration of nature, based on #rewilding principles, is one of the best ways of tackling our current climate and #biodiversity emergencies. This year the #EU will take decisions that have far-reaching consequences for #Europe’s people and nature. A new set of policy papers outlines why and how European politicians should prioritise #NatureRestoration in the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2030.

Policy papers

A new set of policy papers calls on EU politicians to prioritise nature restoration, and provides them with critical and effective new tools to do so. The publications identify priority areas for nature restoration across Europe."

"#ClimateChange is [...] forecast to become the predominant pressure on #biodiversity and its ecosystem functions [...]. The interplay and feedback between the climate and biodiversity #crises call for integrated national and European policy responses. Systemic policy approaches to #pollinator stewardship,[...] also highlight the #IntegratedPolicy approach required to meet the generational challenge of #NatureRestoration and #mitigation of and #adaptation to drastic climate change"

A very worthwhile and educational day spent in the beautiful Blackstairs Mountains.

It was great to learn more about the work being done to support biodiversity, and enhance some of Ireland's most valuable landscapes.

Wildlife Wednesday

🦋Research from University of Plymouth shows that appropriately designed soil-based living wall systems can deliver meaningful urban biodiversity benefits when integrated with strategic plant selection.

🐦‍⬛ In the study locations, 32 bird species were recorded, with three species observed nesting within the living walls.

🐝 Among the hundreds of other creatures observed were 12 different types of bees, hoverflies and other pollinators, as well as 19 types of soil invertebrates and 12 species of spiders.

New research shows our planet’s night is more volatile than ever.

A decade of satellite data reveals that while some areas are dimming due to policy changes or crisis, others are brightening at a rate that keeps the global average of light pollution rising by 2% annually.

Rewild to deter invasion. Why not just rewild?

To be fair the two places mentioned, Finland and Poland, have stunning environments right on the borders they share with Russia and her allies and are already rewilding so perhaps all these geo-politics aren't so bad if they come with nice side effects for everyone.

#MOFGA - #PlantCorridors

By Heather McCargo, Photos by Jean English, Winter 2014-2015

"#NativePlant corridors attract #pollinators and #wildlife to your farm by stretching across your property to connect your piece of #NativeHabitat to nearby #meadows, #wetlands or #woodlands. This creates a much larger area for #NativePollinators to #forage, raise young and migrate. Corridors may run along a road, between fields, in a #swale or on the edge of a #forest, connecting habitats off the property and returning native plants to the parts of the farm not suitable for traditional crops.

This article describes two approaches to creating native habitat corridors: changing #mowing habits to favor native species, and planting woody and herbaceous combinations to increase native plant diversity on the farm.

Populations of all native species are in decline across the state. Our human footprint is taking its toll on wild creatures, including pollinators such as #bees and #butterflies that are so important on the farm for crop pollination. Native plant species each share an evolutionary history with indigenous insects, birds, reptiles, mammals, bacteria and fungi. When native plants are gone, many of these creatures go too, leading to a collapse of ecosystem function. Farmers benefit from the services provided by a healthy ecosystem, such as groundwater recharge; clean surface streams and ponds; pollination; a diversity of birds, spiders and amphibians to eat many insects including crop pests; and beneficial soil fungi and bacteria. Fortunately, when native plants are reintroduced into a landscape, many of these other creatures return.

As farmers and landowners, we can bring native plants, and the attendant diversity, back into the Maine landscape in a way that works with a farmer’s busy schedule. Many native plants thrive in dry, wet and shady areas that are poor sites for traditional farm crops."

This weekend, I start a month long, remote crash course on managing urban soil contamination & revitalizing former polluted lands. This education will help with more nature restoration, soil remediation & rewilding work in 2026 & beyond. All around the CRD regions, there's public lands which need decontamination work before any remediation work can be done. More sustainable local food security & nature biodiversity can be created, if we can decontaminate & revitalize more public lands, which have been polluted by man-made industry.
