Through this project the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) and WWF Spain will pilot an innovative certification programme to verify the quality of projects for Mediterranean forest restoration in Spain. The aim of the project is to develop and test a quality “seal of approval” for forest restoration. Experience from this project may then lead to such a certification programme being expanded to other ecosystems (e.g. other types of forests, biodiverse grasslands etc.) and other regions of the globe. The project will provide guidance, structure, and an auditing process for designing, implementing and funding high quality ecological restoration in Mediterranean forests.
