Human impacts on wildlife have not always been positive. For example, coastal protection has come at the expense of natural land-water transitions, intensive farming of rural biodiversity, and fishing of marine ecosystems. To secure a healthy living environment for future generations, nature restoration is an absolute necessity. This is now enshrined in EU legislation.

We conduct field research for many ecological restoration projects. From research into vegetation along Dutch rivers to oyster recovery projects in the North Sea.
We have been studying ecosystems for more than 40 years; on land, at sea and in the air. We have built a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience, which we are happy to use to restore ecosystems.

Waardenburg Ecology provides a total package: we design recovery projects, install them in the field, monitor their effectiveness, and develop our own innovations to increase success. To achieve this, we often collaborate with skilled and passionate partners from academic and not-for-profit sectors.
