We are an interdisciplinary team of scientists studying ecosystems at a global scale to understand the relationships between biodiversity and climate change. Our work is helping create the scientific foundation for ecosystem restoration, informing and empowering people to protect and restore Earth’s biodiversity to fight climate change and improve human well-being. Our research is the foundation of the UN’s trillion tree campaign, and we serve as advisors to the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the World Economic Forum’s 1T.org campaign. In 2021, we launched Restor, a non-profit organisation that connects people to scientific data and to each other in order to increase the impact, scale, and sustainability of restoration efforts. Restor was a finalist for the inaugural Earthshot Prize for the best solutions for the world’s greatest environmental problems.
