Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature. By providing independent, site-based verification and engaging local experts, TGBS builds trust, transparency and equity in restoration practice. Its adoption cou…
On the need for biocultural approaches to restoration
Ecological restoration is gaining global momentum for climate mitigation, yet its prevailing approach, often rooted in Western technical science, frequently appears neutral while inadvertently reinforcing power imbalances and sidelining local knowledge. We argue for biocultural restoration approaches that go beyond community participation by explicitly integrating cultural meanings, knowledge systems, and power relations into restoration planning…
An evaluation of ecological impact assessment procedural effectiveness over time
Environmental Impacts Of Construction On Habitats-Future Priorities
Construction related projects often involve the destruction or degradation of habitat to such an extent that the species and communities which persist in them often become locally, or in some circumstances nationally or even globally extinct. This work highlights several major global habitat types for which there have been development pressures resulting in large-scale losses, namely forests, coastal zones, wetlands, mangroves and heathlands. Fut…
Using Landscape Characteristics for Targeting Habitat Conservation and Restoration
Ancient semi-natural deciduous woodland is a rare and threatened habitat cited by the European Union's Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC). Current protection of this endangered habitat in the UK takes the form of site-specific reserve designations but, if the habitat is to be conserved and enhanced, a landscape-scale selective targeting system is required. In the absence of suitable species data, physical attributes of habitat patches are used as sur…

The role of GIS in landscape assessment
Restoring and enhancing rare and threatened habitats under agri-environment agreements
A review of ecological mitigation measures in UK environmental statements with respect to sustainable development
The European and UK legislation on environmental assessment (EA), as well as requiring assessment of significant ecological effects, also requires development proponents to recommend mitigation measures for adverse impacts. Drawing on a review of proposed ecological mitigation measures in 194 environmental statements (ES) for UK development proposals, this paper highlights problems with the current legislation in ensuring that ecological impacts …
