Monitoring the health of the ecosystems
With Restor, governments can monitor the health of ecosystems across the nation through aggregated analytics available at local, regional, and national levels. Our platform offers access to the best available datasets on biodiversity, carbon, water, and land-use change. Additionally, governments can upload in-situ data to provide higher resolution insights, and a more comprehensive view of environmental health.
SEED Biocomplexity Index
As part of Restor’s monitoring capabilities is the SEED Biocomplexity Index, being developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. As the world’s first standardized measure (on a 0-1 scale) of the state of nature, this global dataset offers natural benchmarks for each of Earth's 867 terrestrial ecoregions, continuously evolving in richness, resolution, and complexity. SEED provides a powerful and dynamic tool for assessing and understanding ecosystems on a global scale.
Centralised data management and capacity building
Efficiently manage multiple sites with Restor’s streamlined management console, providing structured access to content, settings, and user role management across different agencies and departments. Our platform simplifies the process of organising and overseeing all your areas of interest, with API functionality to ensure seamless site management from one centralised location.
Report to stakeholders
Use reporting functionality to share portfolios of sites (private or public) with external or internal stakeholders (e.g. internal departments) using password protected links. Enhance transparency with the public through Restor's dedicated microsite (e.g., government.restor.eco), where the national nature footprint can beis displayed on an interactive map.
Engaging local communities to deliver global commitments
Restor is the largest network of Non-State Actors, including Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. Through Restor, local communities can share data with governments to show how they are contributing to national targets. Through a unique partnership with UN FAO, Restor is supporting the reporting of Non-State Actor data to 196 signatories to the Global Biodiversity Framework. Modular analytics streamline reporting against Target 2 and Target 3, as well as other frameworks like the UN Climate Change Convention (UNCCC), the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (UN CBD).
Connectivity to finance
Restor can bridge the gap between nature stewards and financial actors. Governments using Restor can showcase credible, data-backed portfolios of conservation and restoration sites - helping to attract and direct funding from capital providers. Through transparency, standardized metrics, and ongoing monitoring, Restor enables public and private finance to support proven, scalable conservation programs that deliver measurable outcomes for nature and local communities. This creates a powerful pathway to unlock the capital needed to scale national environmental efforts and meet global biodiversity and climate goals.
