Biodiversity restoration
We design and implement forest, wetland and coastal restoration projects, with local participation and plans for ongoing ecological care.
WHAT WE DELIVER
Restoration starts with understanding the landscape: what belongs there, what has changed and what is preventing recovery. We shape the project around those conditions and the people who depend on the ecosystem.
Develop restoration projects for degraded land using locally appropriate native vegetation. Site conditions, species selection and maintenance needs inform the planting and restoration plan.
Restore wetland and coastal habitats through work suited to local hydrology and ecology. This can include invasive vegetation management and mangrove restoration where conditions support it.
Build ongoing care into the project. Maintenance, monitoring and adaptive management help the team respond to survival rates, invasive regrowth and changing site conditions.
OUR KEY INDIA PARTNER
Project design, community engagement and needs assessment in India.
Led by Dr. Nisha Priya Mani, Verdure Environmental Foundation is our key India partner for project design, community engagement and needs assessment. Together, we shape projects around local environmental conditions and the priorities of the people who will use and maintain them.
Dr. Nisha also serves as SIV Impact’s Head of Operations, India, connecting environmental science with local project delivery.
Visit Verdure Environmental FoundationSIV’S DELIVERY ROLE
Establish the site's ecological conditions, pressures and restoration objectives with technical specialists and local stakeholders.
Agree the interventions, species, budget, permissions and maintenance responsibilities needed for the location.
Coordinate site work and implementation with field partners, public agencies and communities.
Review establishment and habitat condition over time, and adapt the maintenance approach as evidence develops.
MEASUREMENT
Restoration area, native vegetation establishment and survival, recorded against a baseline.
Indicators selected for the ecosystem, including vegetation composition, invasive cover or other relevant measures.
Maintenance activity, community participation and actions taken in response to monitoring findings.
The project scope establishes the baseline, measures, reporting schedule and any independent verification requirements. Targets and measured outcomes are reported separately.
