Break out discussion Topic 1 Restoringecosystems and their services
atEuropeanlevel • ETC/BD: Review on ecosystemrestoration and itseffectiveness in Europe. 2012 • DG ENV contract: Implementationof 2020 EU BiodiversityStrategy: Prioritiesfor the restorationecosystemsand their services in the EU (2013)
Situation at national level • At the verybeginning: how to bring the target do wecomply to thistarget? how to organise ourselves? • Decision to rely on EU Nature directives and on the Natura 2000 network + ??, Use existing action plans atregionallevel • Tools approach: mappingecosystems and their services, redlist of ecosystems,
Questions • Definition of restoration, • How to measure (quantitative/qualitative) ? • Existingdatasets/indicators not targeted on restoration • See how wecanrely on EU directives reporting (HBD, WFD, MFSD, ELD) but how to consider more commonecosystems (urban, agri, forests)?
Whatkind of messages are relevant for the SOER2015? • Big challenge to quantify and assess the 15% target • EU directives reporting should help • Need to define/identify priority ecosystems: ecosystems providing specific ESS, • Key roles of land use/land cover,… • Several actions contribute to restoration => implementation information (see CBD Mid term Review reports)
How countries can support EEA? Potential case-studies: • Example of Austrian maps of several ecosystems, • Example of implementation in Sweden: SE regions working on GI, good examples,… • Denmark suggested to use some SEBI indicatorsto support Target 2
