Restoring ecosystems across land and sea
Restoring ecosystems for generations to come
Restoration Works: seven projects; seven years of restoration impact.
Habitats across Europe are degrading at alarming rates. Our mission is to reverse that change.
The Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme is building a future in which landscapes and seascapes are enriched with biodiversity, establishing resilient and more self-sustaining ecosystems that benefit both nature and people.

First satellite-tagged angel shark marks milestone for Lemnos restoration project
Researchers have successfully deployed the first satellite tag on an angel shark in Greece, marking an important step in understanding these Critically Endangered species. The work took place around Lemnos, where research on angel sharks forms part of a new restoration project supported by the Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme. Data from the tag will help researchers learn more about angel shark movements, habitat use and behaviour, informing future conservation and management. Working with local fishers and international researchers, the project is building knowledge to support the recovery of angel sharks and the wider restoration of the Lemnos seascape.
