SERE2024 is an international conference organised by the European Chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration (SERE), taking place in Europe every two years.

In August 2024, practitioners working on the science, practice, and policy of ecological restoration will come together in Tartu, Estonia, to share knowledge and discuss the future of European nature.

Ecological restoration is a topic that holds a prominent place on both political and scientific agendas. The decline in biodiversity demands our urgent attention, and degraded ecosystems around the world require an effective and knowledge-driven path to recovery. The EU is actively working on the Nature Restoration Law, and in 2024, new and ambitious goals and actions to reverse biodiversity decline in Europe will be agreed upon.

The WaterLANDS project will present its findings to date across multiple sessions at SERE2024, including by hosting a joint session with the other #RestorationCluster projects (MERLIN, Rest-Coast, and SUPERB) which will focus on landscape-scale restoration.
