to innovate projects that sustainably benefit both biodiversity and human
livelihoods, based on a proven and/or researched understanding of the ecology of
the region:
- Monitoring long term restoration experiments, sites & protocols
- Technical and ecological support and advice to restoration businesses
(incl. seed collecting, seed cleaning and storing, wind & water erosion
barriers, transplanting perennial plants, restoration packs & determining the
restoration criteria for specific sites)
- Ongoing ecological research into ecosystem processes and drivers of
ecosystem change
- Identifying fine scale biodiversity land use priorities & biodiversity
assessments
- Farm management plans & livestock management guidelines that promote
sustainable land use
- Specialist ecological & technical support to other biodiversity
implementation projects, particularly those that improve livelihoods in the
region
