Join us for the Atlantic & Arctic Lighthouse Weekly Hour on May 8, 2024, from 2 to 3 PM CET, featuring the Restore4Life project. Restore4Life is part of the Danube & Black Sea Lighthouse within the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030”. It showcases the remarkable socio-economic benefits derived from a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to restoring freshwater and coastal wetlands in the Danube basin. By creating new blue-green infrastructure that bolsters regional climate change resilience and mitigation efforts, Restore4Life paves the way for a sustainable future.

With four demonstration sites and six monitoring sites spread throughout the Danube basin, Restore4Life aims to demonstrate the substantial enhancement of crucial ecosystem services. These services include water and pollutant retention, carbon sequestration, tourism opportunities, and the overall resilience of water-dependent habitats. The project further reveals the multitude of socio-economic synergies that arise from these improvements, opening doors for sustainable businesses and investments.

The project’s core activities center around reinstating lateral connectivity in riverine corridors, crucial for restoring the ecological balance. To support this mission, Restore4Life introduces the long-term wetland restoration service called Restore4Life Wetland Reconstruction Accelerator.
