In 2024, we launched a landscape-scale nature restoration partnership in the west Highlands. Over the next 50 years, Loch Abar Mòr will create a rich mosaic of habitats, alive with nature, in which people work and live with a sense of pride and belonging. 🌿🌊🗻 Find out more about the partnership: https://lnkd.in/eVBVbxr4 #RewildingHope

Key to RER restoration work is APRIL production-protection method, which integrates fiber plantations and natural forest restoration areas. This approach keeps forests safe from external threats by using managed plantations as buffer zones, while also generating funds that are channeled back into conservation and management. Over the past decade, this has proven to be a reliable and effective model for forest landscape restoration in Riau, and a scalable solution for conservation efforts nationwide. From production and protection to conservation, restoration, and community development, APRIL & RER continue to deliver positive impacts and nature-based solutions in Riau. #Climate #ExploreRER #aboutRER #fornature #naturebasedsolution #generationrestoration #forestprotection #APRIL2030 #thrivinglandscape

For restoration of degraded Landscapes to be successful, the local people who are the direct resource users should be put at the forefront of implementation. Participatory action planning can be a key strategy for meeting restoration objectives at community level. #StakeholderEngagement #RestorationEcology #NaturebasedSolutions #SDGs2030 #ClimateChange

A win for nature!!! Recent attention in the media has put the spotlight on the dire state of our rivers; in England only 15% meet the criteria for ‘good’ ecological status and shockingly, none achieve ‘good’ status overall1. But there is hope, every year we are inspired by some of the best examples of river and catchment restoration showcased at the prestigious UK River Restoration Prize, awarded by UK River Restoration Centre (RRC). It’s five years since we launched the Trust’s flagship river restoration programme, Riverlands, in response to the growing nature and climate crises and we couldn’t be more excited to announce that this year two of our projects were selected as finalists at the 2024 awards. Our Cumbria Riverlands team scooped first prize in the catchment award alongside partner Ullswater Catchment Management CIC for their work restoring habitats around Ullswater2. To date, the collaboration has delivered 843 hectares of habitat restoration; initiatives covered over 13km of river restoration, 46 hectares of pond creation, over 16km of hedgerow creation, and significant restorations of wood pasture, peat, and wetlands. The works also included the ‘re-wiggling’ of Goldrill Beck which is often used as an exemplar. Riverlands Porlock Vale Streams project was a runner up, recognised for it’s pioneering and innovative approaches to both river restoration and land management aimed at restoring natural processes at a catchment scale. Work has created an extensive, connected ‘waterscape’ that is nature rich and resilient to extremes in climate, whilst also remaining productive. This included the UK’s first large scale main river restoration using the stage zero technique and species reintroductions with beaver and water vole. It’s fantastic to be recognised for the work we’ve been doing and huge thanks to our partners, funders, farmers and local communities; the work we’ve achieved demonstrates that together we can support natural rivers, thriving wildlife and resilient communities. A big congratulations to the other finalists and everyone involved.

Amanda Lazarevski shares their experience touring The Meadoway, a leading ecological restoration project. This initiative transformed Scarborough's Gatineau hydro corridor into a 16-kilometre urban greenspace, linking Rouge National Urban Park to downtown Toronto. Read the blog: https://ow.ly/tTSE50UmO78

### 7. **Promoting Sustainable Urban Planning** - **Zoning Regulations**: Implementing zoning regulations that protect natural habitats from development can help maintain critical wildlife areas. - **Ecological Restoration**: Supporting projects that restore degraded habitats, such as wetlands and riparian zones, can enhance local ecosystems.

Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS) are critical to achieving Big Chalk’s vision of nature-rich chalk and limestone landscapes that benefit all of us. They’re central to building a nature recovery network that will halt nature’s decline by 2030 and ensure nature is at the heart of local decision-making. The West of England LNRS is the first to be published and it overlaps significantly with Big Chalk, including parts of the Cotswolds and Mendip Hills National Landscapes and the important limestone landscapes in between. We’re really pleased to see species-rich grasslands are a priority for the West of England LNRS, as well as the West of England Nature Partnership's Grassland Connections programme. This focus on restoring and improving connectivity between grasslands will help ensure species can move as their climate envelopes shift. This is just the beginning. At Big Chalk, we want to see more LNRSs across southern England recognise the importance of our globally significant chalk and limestone habitats and align their priorities across boundaries- there are 26 local strategy areas within Big Chalk. By working together, we can enhance the health and resilience of these essential ecosystems. We’re proud to be working with these catalysts for nature's recovery locally and look forward to seeing more strategies published.
