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 partners in case study landscapes to test and enhance frameworks, technologies, and tools for effective, inclusive, scalable, nature recovery delivery that also provides for society and its wellbeing
3. Establish an inclusive nature recovery community at Oxford, leveraging its intellectual capital and interdisciplinary convening power to address key debates and challenges in the field.
