Tuesday 30th July: Global nature intelligence company, NatureMetrics, today announces the launch of Restoration Tracker; an innovative product designed to transform the measurement and tracking of soil restoration progress.
This groundbreaking tool addresses a critical gap in biodiversity and ecological monitoring by providing a standardized, scientifically robust method for assessing and quantifying the extent of soil restoration success across terrestrial ecosystems.
Restoration Tracker is the first product of its kind on the market, providing a unique solution to a long-standing industry challenge – a simple metric to track the restoration and remediation of soils.
Restoration Tracker offers two core metrics designed to simplify the monitoring and reporting of ecosystem health:
These metrics align with frameworks used by leading international organizations, including the United Nations System of Environmental Economic Accounting, Global Reporting Initiative, Capitals Coalition, and the Biological Diversity Protocol.
Restoration Tracker offers several key benefits to organizations looking to address the challenge of soil restoration:
Restoration Tracker caters to a diverse range of stakeholders, including corporate entities, environmental managers, policy makers, conservation organizations, and project developers.
Dr. Bastian Egeter, Ecology Director at NatureMetrics, explains, "Restoration Tracker solves the challenge of making sense of complex ecosystem data by distilling it into clear, actionable metrics that align with global standards and frameworks. This really is a game-changer if you’re looking to track restoration progress in a simple and repeatable way, underpinned with deep ecological rigour."
Restoration Tracker is designed to help organizations meet the growing demands of nature-related regulations and reporting standards. It is particularly relevant for:
By providing standardized, quantifiable metrics, Restoration Tracker enables organizations to demonstrate their commitment to nature-positive outcomes and meet evolving regulatory expectations.
A unique feature of Restoration Tracker is its ability to aggregate scores across a global portfolio of sites. This capability allows multinational corporations and large-scale conservation organizations to:
This global aggregation feature makes Restoration Tracker an invaluable tool for organizations managing multiple restoration projects worldwide.
NatureMetrics has rigorously tested Restoration Tracker across various contexts, including woodland restoration for conservation and mine decommissioning. In all cases, the scores accurately reflected the state of restoration, with unmanaged sites scoring lowest and actively managed sites showing substantially higher scores.
As global awareness of biodiversity loss and the need for ecosystem restoration grows, the demand for standardized, scientifically robust monitoring tools is expected to increase. NatureMetrics is already working on expanding the Restoration Tracker suite to cover additional ecosystem types and incorporate other biomonitoring data types.
With the launch of Restoration Tracker, NatureMetrics reaffirms its commitment to transforming ecosystem monitoring and empowering data-driven conservation efforts globally. By providing a tool that bridges the gap between complex ecological data and actionable insights, NatureMetrics is enabling organizations to make meaningful progress in ecosystem restoration and contribute to global biodiversity goals.
Restoration Tracker is now available to customers for commercial use and NatureMetrics is already working with a number of clients on implementation in the field.
