Habitat Corridors

StarStarStarStar

Application: Creating passageways that connect fragmented habitats. Expected outcome: Improved species migration and genetic diversity.

StarStarStarStar

Prairie Restoration

StarStarStarStar

Application: Reintroducing native grasses and controlling invasive plants. Expected outcome: Restored prairie ecosystem and increased carbon storage.

StarStarStarStar

Marine Protected Areas

StarStarStarStar

Application: Establishing zones with limited or no fishing allowed. Expected outcome: Recovery of fish populations and coral health, increase in marine biodiversity.

StarStarStarStar

Soil Bioengineering

StarStarStarStar

Application: Combining civil engineering with vegetation to prevent erosion. Expected outcome: Natural looking landscapes that are structurally sound and environmentally friendly.

StarStarStarStar

Landscape Connectivity

StarStarStarStar

Application: Linking habitats to form larger, interconnected ecosystems. Expected outcome: Easier wildlife movement, higher genetic diversity, and improved resilience.

StarStarStarStar

Riparian Buffer Zones

StarStarStarStar

Application: Planting vegetation along watercourses. Expected outcome: Erosion control, water purification, and wildlife corridors.

StarStarStarStar

Coral Reef Restoration

StarStarStarStar

Application: Transplantation or cultivation of corals. Expected outcome: Revived biodiversity, fishing stocks, and coastal protection.

StarStarStarStar

Urban Greening

StarStarStarStar

Application: Planting trees and creating green spaces in urban areas. Expected outcome: Improved air quality, cooler city temperatures, and psychological benefits.

StarStarStarStar

Mine Reclamation

StarStarStarStar

Application: Restoration of mined land through re-vegetation and soil stabilization. Expected outcome: Reduced pollution, stabilized soil, and new wildlife habitat.

StarStarStarStar

Prescribed Burning

StarStarStarStar

Application: Controlled burns in fire-dependent ecosystems. Expected outcome: Reduced wildfire risk, nutrient cycling, and habitat restoration.

StarStarStarStar

Peatland Restoration

StarStarStarStar

Application: Re-wetting dried peatlands and replanting native species. Expected outcome: Restored carbon sink, biodiversity, and water regulation.

StarStarStarStar

Bioengineering

StarStarStarStar

Application: Using living plants to stabilize landscapes. Expected outcome: Erosion control, slope stabilization, and habitat creation.

StarStarStarStar

Phytoremediation

StarStarStarStar

Application: Using plants to absorb or contain contaminants. Expected outcome: Clean-up of polluted soils, water, and air.

StarStarStarStar

Dune Restoration

StarStarStarStar

Application: Rebuilding or stabilizing sand dunes. Expected outcome: Protection against coastal erosion and storms, habitat for species.

StarStarStarStar

Stream Daylighting

StarStarStarStar

Application: Uncovering and restoring previously buried urban streams. Expected outcome: Improved water quality, flood prevention, and habitat creation.

StarStarStarStar

Fish Stock Restoration

StarStarStarStar

Application: Releasing hatchery-raised fish into wild populations. Expected outcome: Increased biodiversity and sustainable fishing.

StarStarStarStar

Grassland Management

StarStarStarStar

Application: Controlled grazing and native species planting. Expected outcome: Sustainable agriculture, soil health, and habitat for native fauna.

StarStarStarStar

Water Conservation

StarStarStarStar

Application: Implementing techniques to manage and protect water resources. Expected outcome: Sustainable water supplies and avoidance of resource depletion.

StarStarStarStar

Erosion Control

StarStarStarStar

Application: Using terracing, contour plowing, and cover crops. Expected outcome: Reduced soil loss, improved water retention, and protection of farmland.

StarStarStarStar

Wetland Restoration

StarStarStarStar

Application: Reintroducing native flora and restoring hydrology. Expected outcome: Improved water quality, flood protection, and habitat for wildlife.

StarStarStarStar

Dam Removal

StarStarStarStar

Application: Dismantling obsolete or damaging dams. Expected outcome: Restored river ecosystems, fish migration, and sediment replenishment.

StarStarStarStar

Biochar Amendment

StarStarStarStar

Application: Adding biochar to soil. Expected outcome: Enhanced soil fertility, increased crop yields, and carbon sequestration.

StarStarStarStar

Invasive Species Removal

StarStarStarStar

Application: Eradicating or controlling non-native species. Expected outcome: Restoration of natural balance and protection of native species.

StarStarStarStar

Reforestation

StarStarStarStar

Application: Planting trees in deforested areas. Expected outcome: Increased biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and restored habitat.

StarStarStarStar

Ecological Redundancy

StarStarStarStar

Application: Introducing multiple species with similar ecological roles. Expected outcome: Enhanced ecosystem resilience and stability.
