The

Context.

Asset 31CRH2.png

The large-scale restoration of ecosystems is becoming urgent: the window of opportunity is quickly closing*

​

Waterway ecosystems around the world are essential habitats for human and animal life, as well as for biodiversity in general. However, these ecosystems are currently experiencing the effects of multiple threats.

 

Although plastic pollution is one of the most visible problems, others, such as loss of biodiversity, connectivity and flow due to disproportionate extraction; excess nutrients from agricultural and urban areas; sedimentation caused by soil degradation and deforestation; and the effects of climate change, are just as dangerous. 

 

Downstream, all of these elements have a tremendous impact on seas and oceans, seriously affecting the marine ecosystem and the planet's health in general.

The

Challenge.

An exponential impact requires knowing each other, sharing, hybridizing and scaling

​

The problem is complex; it varies by geographic region and affects many stakeholders. Therefore, the solution requires an ecosystemic, multifaceted, customized and comprehensive approach for every watershed basin. 

 

Cleaning and restoration solutions must provide tangible benefits, resulting in better ecological water indicators for improved biodiversity, human health, flora and fauna, CO2 capture and sustainable employment.

VISION

​

A global meeting point that serves as a catalyst for solutions aimed at cleaning and restoring freshwater ecosystems through the connections, capacities and collaboration between actors.

 

We aim to play a key role in the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030).

Solution.

MISSION

​

The objective of this new cooperation paradigm is to ensure that there are more and better SOLUTIONS to clean and restore freshwater ecosystems in order to achieve greater results as soon as possible.


We facilitate contact in solutions and capabilities.
The affiliated entities contribute their capacities free of charge: knowledge, technologies and materials.


At no cost, we make these available to those who clean and restore ecosystems.
