Biome
Ecosystem
Original Ecosystem Description
What was the original ecosystem, before the disturbance that requires or required restoration? Describe the specific ecosystem(s) within each major group and the geographic location. Provide climatic information, such as total rainfall and its seasonal distribution, average maximum temperature in the warmest month and average minimum temperature in the coldest month.
Geographic Region
Country or Territory
Area Covered Area covered should be a number, i.e. 120 Area Units Area units should be the unit, i.e. Hectares/Acres or Kilometers/Miles. Pre Disturbance Condition of the Ecosystem
Describe the structure, biodiversity, and functions of the ecosystem and any measures that might be used to evaluate restoration success.
Primary Cause of Degradation
Causes and Degree of Degradation
Describe the cause(s) and degree of degradation, damage or destruction and its effect on ecosystem structure, biodiversity and functions. Include a discussion of landscape scale issues such as degree of fragmentation as well as socio-economic or political changes that may have caused or been caused by the degradation.
Stakeholder Involvement
Who has an interest in the project and how significant are these interests? Who has power and who does not? How were decisions made?
Brief Project Description
Provide a brief description of the project and the individuals or institutions involved (one paragraph).
Project Goals
What was the reason for the intervention and what were the goals? Who decided on the goals and how does this relate to the stakeholders?
Description of Project Activities
Describe in detail the project so that it could be replicated elsewhere. Include mistakes made and corrections developed along the way. Also include ecological, socio-economic and political aspects of the project. Project description can be broken down into: 1) research and planning; 2) implementation; 3) education and outreach; 4) results.
Funding Amount Funding amount should be a number, i.e. 40,000 Funding Units Funding units should be the unit, i.e. USD or Euros. Sources and Amounts of Funding
Provide information on project resources when available, including any funding provided as well as in-kind resources, such as volunteer labor, materials, and scientific services. Indicate who provided these resources.

Extent of Recovery To Date Provide quantitative and qualitative measures of ecological recovery to date and how that compares to the long term goals of the project (e.g. area restored in hectares, number of species reintroduced, wildlife use or other indicators of success). Factors Limiting Recovery Are there biological, physical, socio-economic or other factors limiting ecological recovery? Is there a single primary cause or multiple causes limiting recovery. Improvements in Human Well Being How has the restoration project contributed to the improvement in human well-being? Have there been economic benefits, improvements in quality of life, or an accrual of ecosystems goods and services? Strategies for Long Term Management What actions are being taken for the long-term management of the ecosystem? Have the causes of degradation been addressed or is it likely that the ecosystem will become degraded again? Is there a long-term monitoring program? Evaluation and Major Lessons Learned Has the project been evaluated and what are the major lessons that have been learned? How might these lessons be used in similar projects elsewhere or in other situations? How can other projects avoid making the same or similar mistakes? References Provide general references, contact information for primary project managers or principal investigators, and any publications that have resulted from the project including relevant urls.
