Project Overview
RestPoll's ambition is to substantially and permanently restore more wild pollinator habitats and enhance the connectivity of habitats in Europe, by strengthening society-wide capability to reverse wild pollinator decline and stabilise pollination services and their societal benefits.
Funded through the European Union's Horizon Europe Framework Programme, RestPoll consists of 32 transdisciplinary partners from 16 countries who are working together to permanently restore pollinator habitats in agricultural landscapes in Europe.
Project Objectives
- Establish and co-develope European-wide network of pollinator restoration case study areas (CSA) and Living Labs (LL)
- Validate context-dependence and synergistic effects of multiple restoration measures at different scales
- Demonstrate how to improve benefits and co-benefits of pollinator restoration for nature and people
- Test co-designed, transferable tools for adaptive pollinator restoration
Methods
- Establish a network of 17 Living Labs (LL) and case study areas (CSA) in 14 European countries
- Multi-year pollinator and vegetation monitoring of the CSAs
- Coordination of and knowledge exchange with stakeholders to evaluate and monitor the success of the implementation of co-designed measures within the LLs
