 Hello, I am Mick and I am here in the beautiful landscape of Valentejo in south of Portugal to introduce you a holistic framework for monitoring ecosystem restoration. We created this to give camps a way of measuring their impact and seeing changes in the ecosystems they are restoring. Ecosystem restoration is not a small project, so this framework includes various protocols that should be really easy and affordable for you to do. We know that each ecosystem is unique, so you can choose the indicators that help you monitor the progress of your projects in your specific sites. In this series, we will demonstrate how you can do each of the ecological tests included in our framework. We hope this exercise helps you understand what is and what isn't working to bring back ecosystem function, as well as spread knowledge on effective restoration techniques. This way, together, we can share stories of diversity, abundance and hope with the world.
