- (EN) | The MERLIN project is committed to transformative ecosystem restoration, integrating nature-based solutions for our society's urgent systemic change. MERLIN learns from 17 best practice case study demonstrators in terms of innovative restoration measures, governance types and funding structures. With more than €10 million invested in other practical upscaling measures, MERLIN turns these 17 projects into beacons of innovation for transformative and systemic change. EDIA enters as a partner with the case study "ERVIDEL FLOODPLAIN", the twin case of Sorraia, where it will implement measures to restore the similarity carried out on the Sorraia river.
- In the case of Merlin, solutions were studied, and interventions were carried out in a riparian ecosystem, trying to restore and return the ecosystem to be more resilient to climate change, taking into account the climatic, morphological, physical, chemical and biodiversity components. In the future, thanks to the Germ of Life project, it will be possible to apply the tools and solutions achieved to apply them in riparian ecosystems such as the one studied in the Merlin project.
