Growing recognition of the important role of ecosystem restoration in stabilizing the changing climate

Best Practices Documentation

While knowledge alone can sometimes change the world, it is in the application of practical knowledge that change takes hold. For more than ten years EEMP has been capturing, refining, and sharing documentary evidence of ecosystem restoration--successes, challenges, and uncertainties.

Building on best practices from professional journalism, we already have a unique suite of video, print, and multi-media materials from around the world.  Through relationships with academic organizations globally, we share this oeuvre of documentary materials that drive further research and refinement of our findings and stories.

While written materials--from papers to blog entries--are posted on the web for international access, our preferred method of communication is visual, video in particular. Even the best paper, translated into multiple languages, generally palls in comparison to the clarity of a short video when showing best methods for planting on a regraded slope to ensure water infiltration and retention of topsoil.

Of course, various mediums reinforce one another and we thus invite collaboration with educators, practitioners, scholars, and the policy community to use, test, and improve the methods we have documented.
