Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme

Over many centuries, Europe’s landscapes and seascapes have become degraded. Ecosystems are fragmented, species have been lost, and the populations of birds, insects and mammals are greatly diminished. Europe needs to bring life back to its land and seas; we need to restore places where people can reconnect to nature and marvel at the natural world. Restoring nature at scale is one of the best ways of tackling the twin climate and biodiversity crises, as well as enhancing the wide range of other benefits that nature provides – including clean air and water, fertile soil, flood protection and human health and wellbeing. The Endangered Landscapes Programme supports partners to restore landscapes and seascapes across Europe for the benefit of nature and people, building a healthier and more hopeful future. The Endangered Landscapes Programme is funded by Arcadia and managed by the Cambridge Conservation Initiative.
