Ecosystem Restoration 2023

Ecosystem Restoration: Solutions for global problems

Our communities are more vulnerable to water scarcity and increased pollution due to climate change, a growing population, and aging infrastructure.

Should I incorporate Nature-based Solutions into projects?

There’s never been a more critical time to work with nature. Nature-based Solutions help us address challenges such as climate change, human health, food and water security, and disasters. Green and gray infrastructure makes our coastal areas more resilient to storm surges, adding economic and biodiversity benefits.

Restoring ecosystems has multiple benefits for your land. You can plant pollinator habitat, stabilize soil and prevent erosion, and create biodiversity for many species of wildlife. In turn, this helps you meet your ESG goals and build resilience into your infrastructure.

It is costly for energy suppliers to maintain large properties that are part of their infrastructure. Monoculture landscapes can mean poor habitat, biodiversity loss, and less resilience to climate change.

Fixing old or outdated infrastructure allows fish passage and provides additional stream and river habitat for animals. It can also reduce flooding, make waterways safer, and provide recreation and economic benefits where fish species are important.

Culverts, dams, bridges, and sediment can block fish, like endangered salmon, and other aquatic animals from reaching critical stream or river habitat. Wildfires and watershed changes can also create barriers.

By restoring native species and addressing invasive species, you can improve hydrology, soil health, climate change resistance, and make environments safer for people. You can also provide additional recreational opportunities and safeguard infrastructure.

Invasive species negatively impact landscapes and economies. They can impede climate change mitigation efforts, reduce carbon sequestration rates, alter the food web, increase flooding, and add to wildfire danger.

Ecosystem restoration has the natural capacity to decrease the severity and frequency of floods. Nature-based Solutions can positively impact floodplains and mitigate loss of life and property by leveraging nature in design, making communities more resilient to climate change.

Climate change and urban development can increase flooding. Floods exact an economic and tragic toll on people and communities. They impact water quality, infrastructure, and livability.

Learn more How natural capital drives business value while protecting our environment CarbonWATCH Green Park Biodiversity, Reading

Your land holds value! Air, water, plants, and soil provide vital ecosystem services. We help organizations assess, measure, value, and restore their natural capital by evaluating how your assets absorb carbon and provide climate solutions. This can be used to integrate nature into your operations to achieve climate, ESG, and biodiversity goals.

Natural capital is renewable and non-renewable resources, like land, clean water, and sequestered carbon. Organizations with large tracts of land are often unaware of the full value of their natural assets.
