RESTORATION OF WETLAND COMPLEXES AS LIFE SUPPORTING SYSTEMS IN THE DANUBE BASIN
Abstract
Restore4Life’s Overall Objective is to develop an online long-lasting wetland restoration service that will allow large-scale holistic wetland restoration activities in the Danube basin and Europe through extensive dialogue and co-creation with multiple actors (knowledge holders, policy actors, citizens) as part of the Danube basin lighthouse of the Mission “Restore our ocean and waters by 2030”. Restore4Life will: 1) foster a digital water knowledge system to better understand, monitor, and forecast the health of the hydrosphere, based on existing and planned European infrastructures and services; 2) stimulate EU-wide, large-scale holistic restoration of Danube wetlands, floodplains and coastal wetlands to restitute their ecosystem functions services; 3) promote a participatory governance system based on the mobilisation and engagement of the public, civic and private sectors 4) Demonstrate and evaluate holistic wetland restoration approach and compile, test and optimise ecosystems’ and ES assessment indicators to enable their applicability in associated regions and their integration in the wetland restoration service and 5) Support local revenue and business activities in restored ecosystems
