The #BiodivRestore Knowledge Hub aims to empower countries to develop and implement National Restoration Plans (#NRP). Last month, a member of the Hub participated in a conference in Rome to discuss challenges and opportunities related to Italy’s NRP and its consultation process.

How can we advance the restoration of degraded ecosystems and biodiversity?
22 #BiodivRestore-funded projects showcased their findings and results on 21-22 Oct., spanning a wide range of ecosystems, pressures, and innovative solutions.

🐟 Rhodolith beds off Brazil's coast boost fish density, biomass & richness, vital for marine ecosystems. But #RESTORESEAS (#BiodivRestore) data from Costa das Algas Marine Protected Area shows threats from mining & trawling, calling for stronger protection.

🪸 #RESTORESEAS (#BiodivRestore) reports 1st local extinction of coral Phyllogorgia dilatata on Trindade Island. Models predict 63% habitat loss by 2100 due to climate change, with shifts in temperature, oxygen, & salinity. Urgent need for protected areas!

💧 Temporary freshwater ponds are crucial for species dispersal and biodiversity. In Madrid, #ResPond (#BiodivRestore) finds seasonality, pond depth, and connectivity to permanent ponds drive macroinvertebrate assemblages.

🐦 #RemoveDisease (#BiodivRestore) shows how genomic introgression among three southern skua species helped them adapt to harsh Antarctic conditions. This gene flow might be key to surviving climate change.

🌡️ Northern peatlands as carbon sink? #ReVersal (#BiodivRestore) shows that warming increases microbial photosynthesis, potentially offsetting ~14% of projected CO₂ emissions by 2100 under high-emission scenarios.
