TDP was presented in the SER 2018 Conference in Reykjavik, Iceland (9-13.09.2018). Over 400 people, representing 48 countries all over the world, took part in the conference.
Nearly 200 oral talks―including seven excellent keynotes—and over 80 posters were presented; in addition to six specialized workshops and an open Climate Forum. The need for a thorough understanding and professional expertise in restoration ecology is more evident today than ever before. The environmental challenges we are currently facing show us clearly that fully functional ecosystems, where biodiversity is protected, carbon sequestration secured and land degradation neutrality ensured, is what we need to strive for. We sincerely believe that events such as the SER Europe 2018 conference can help to facilitate the science and practices on ecological restoration worldwide.
The dedicated work of the SER International, SER Europe and other SER regional chapters has pushed the importance of restoration into the spotlight of politicians and decision makers within many countries of the world. The recent climate strategy of Iceland is one of the newer political statements where ecological restoration of degraded ecosystems is acknowledged as an underpinning action for achieving carbon neutrality before 2040.
