What is habitat restoration?

Habitat restoration repairs ecosystems that have been damaged or degraded, helping native plants and wildlife recover. Activities can include restoring peatlands, wetlands, wildflower meadows, woodlands and seagrass habitats. Ecologi supports assessed projects that strengthen biodiversity, ecosystem health and local communities.

Explore our impact categories

Tree planting

Restores forests, supports biodiversity and helps remove carbon from the atmosphere over time while creating benefits for local communities.

Habitat restoration

Restores wetlands, grasslands and other ecosystems to protect wildlife, improve natural systems and support resilient communities.

Carbon avoidance

Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by supporting projects that prevent emissions from entering the atmosphere.

Carbon removal

Removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it through natural or technological processes.

The benefits of habitat restoration

Habitat restoration can support climate action, restore nature and create lasting benefits for people and communities.

Climate

Healthy peatlands, wetlands, woodlands and coastal habitats can store carbon and help protect existing carbon stocks. Restoration can also strengthen resilience to flooding, erosion, drought and other climate pressures.

Nature

Restoration can rebuild habitats, improve soil and water health and support native plants and wildlife. Projects are selected for their potential to strengthen whole ecosystems and deliver lasting biodiversity gains.

People

Healthy ecosystems provide clean water, flood protection, recreation and other benefits for communities. Well designed projects can also create local jobs, support skills and involve people in the long term care of restored landscapes.

How we assess habitat restoration projects

Ecologi uses its Nature Projects Assessment Framework to assess habitat restoration projects for ecological quality, community benefits and delivery risk.

1. Initial due diligence

We review each project’s ecological rationale, delivery partner, land protection, governance, stakeholder engagement and safeguarding practices. We also assess local conditions and risks, including natural hazards, climate impacts and partner capability, to identify projects with a credible plan for lasting outcomes.

2. Project scoring

Projects are assessed across biodiversity, ecosystem services, socioeconomic impacts and governance. We review evidence of their potential to restore habitats, improve ecosystem functions, benefit communities and support responsible management, then adjust the assessment for delivery risk so projects can be compared consistently.

3. Monitoring and reporting

We review project updates, monitoring evidence, remote sensing, field information and third party validation where available. This helps us track progress, understand whether intended outcomes are being delivered and report transparently on activities, results, challenges and risks.

Frequently asked questions

Can I plant trees in the UK only?

Absolutely. You can choose to fund trees in specific regions (such as native tree planting in the UK) or support our global project and Impact Funds, which direct funding to a range of landscape restoration projects chosen for their ecological and social impact.
