1. Break out discussion Topic 1 Restoring ecosystems and their services

2. at European level ETC/BD: Review on ecosystem restoration and its effectiveness in Europe. 2012 DG ENV contract: Implementation of 2020 EU Biodiversity Strategy: Priorities for the restoration ecosystems and their services in the EU (2013)

3. Situation at national level At the very beginning: how to bring the target do we comply to this target? how to organise ourselves? Decision to rely on EU Nature directives and on the Natura 2000 network + ??, Use existing action plans at regional level Tools approach: mapping ecosystems and their services, red list of ecosystems,

4. Questions Definition of restoration, How to measure (quantitative/qualitative) ? Existing datasets/indicators not targeted on restoration See how we can rely on EU directives reporting (HBD, WFD, MFSD, ELD) but how to consider more common ecosystems (urban, agri, forests)?

5. What kind of messages are relevant for the SOER2015? Big challenge to quantify and assess the 15% target EU directives reporting should help Need to define/identify priority ecosystems: ecosystems providing specific ESS, Key roles of land use/land cover,… Several actions contribute to restoration => implementation information (see CBD Mid term Review reports)

6. How countries can support EEA? Potential case-studies: Example of Austrian maps of several ecosystems, Example of implementation in Sweden: SE regions working on GI, good examples,… Denmark suggested to use some SEBI indicators to support Target 2

7. Many thanks to the group!
