Action

Assets

Two main action areas contribute to restoring and preserving biodiversity.

Restoration of natural spaces

Preservation of natural spaces

These action areas, which do not generate any revenue by design, are prioritized by RESTORE. This is why RESTORE contributes to preserving and/or recreating spaces that are conducive to biodiversity in order to align them with their natural trajectory.

A third action area: sustainable management of production spaces

This action area allows for the reconciliation of human activity and biodiversity. Therefore, organic farming, sustainable forestry management, and construction using biodiversity-positive methods contribute to this approach, although funding often comes from the concerned activity. This dimension is included in some of the RESTORE projects.
