Our vision is: "To understand and support what it takes to deliver effective, inclusive and scalable nature recovery"

To achieve this vision we focus our activities around three goals:

  1. Understand the societal, biophysical, policy, and systemic factors that enable or challenge nature recovery.

  2. Collaborate with practitioners across diverse landscapes to enhance tools, technologies, and frameworks for effective, equitable, and scalable nature recovery that advances societal wellbeing.

  3. Establish an inclusive nature recovery community, rooted at Oxford, harnessing its convening power and interdisciplinary research strengths to confront the urgent debates and transformational challenges at the heart of nature recovery.
