🆕📢Financing instruments for #NatureBasedSolutions! The #PONDERFUL Sustainable Finance Inventory is out, detailing 22 instruments for funding #NbS, with a focus on #ponds & #pondscapes 🛠️Find your fit with the excel-based tool. Explore the inventory 👉ecologic.eu/19473

You will soon be able to learn about Nature-based solutions at pondscapes across Europe and South America. We are producing 16 leaflets focusing on PONDERFUL results and success stories at #PONDERFUL DEMO-sites in eight countries. Find out more: ponderful.eu/presenting-pon…

We introduce the technical handbook, #Clima #ponds protocols & pondscapes leaflets that are produced by @ponds4climate Ponderful project to our stakeholders. They are very interested to know more and develop tools to implement NbS for ponds creation, restoration etc.

Socio- economics, policy development and sustainable financing for ponds- seems to be the topics we will be focusing on more and more in the coming years as the benefit of ponds as NBS is so high - in our workshop we have presented some models to implement these @ponds4climate

Want to get the latest news on freshwater research and policy ? In the new edition of #PONDERFUL Freshwater Reports, @Freshwaterhabitatstrust CEO Professor Jeremy Biggs brings together papers that caught his eye, along with recent policy developments. ponderful.eu/freshwater-rep…

Creating a new pond requires considering its design, the hydrology of the location and permissions from the site. These topics will be discussed on the next #PONDERFUL webinar with Dr. Pascale Nicolet from @Freshwaterhabs. Register: shorturl.at/ozDF6

Great News!!! We are pleased to inform you that the @dfg_public Research Training Group @SystemlinkG at the @rptu_kl_ld has been extended for another 4.5 years with funds for a third cohort of doctoral researchers. Stay tuned for updates! systemlink.uni-landau.de

Our guide to the Restoration Creation & Management of Ponds joint with @Freshwaterhabs covered in Farmers Weekly by the Brilliant @louisearable fwi.co.uk/arable/how-to-…

Complex structured margin of a farm #pond we restored way back in 2014. Vibrant with plant & insect life.

I am pleased to announce a new paper from one of our doctoral students from the #SWBTrans project. mdpi.com/2309-608X/9/9/… @zalf_leibniz @europeanponds

This is a very important guide on how #ponds should be restored, created & managed. Please do take a look :)

On 7 December at 4 pm (CET) we will have the last #PONDERFUL webinar of the year! This time Dr. Pascale Nicolet from @Freshwaterhabs, will give a talk entitled “Creating clean water ponds for freshwater wildlife”. Register here: shorturl.at/ozDF6

Top Tip 3: When restoring an old #pond don't pull out tree stumps rooted into the hard banks of the #pond (as in pics). Just coppice them. Pulling these out destroys the banks which are often very old & hence of archaeological interest. Plus scarce plants can also destroyed

How do you restore #ponds to get massive biodiversity gain? Next week, we will restore 4 farm ponds & launch the @uclponds @Freshwaterhabs "Guide to the Restoration, Creation & Management of Ponds" (FREE at norfolkponds.org). Watch this space for top pond tips all week

OUT TODAY! Mardle: Daily Rhythms of a Pond. I have collaborated with musician and sound artist Tom Fisher to create an album of pond sounds. The album tells the story of a day in the life of a pond, from the burning midday sun to the cool of night. skupina.bandcamp.com/album/mardle-d…

A PONDERFUL researcher from @LeibnizIGB published an article about the importance of ponds and highlighted their role as nature-based solutions and the importance of sustainable water management. Find out more: oekom.de/ausgabe/global…

Did you know that we've lost more than 50% of Europe's ponds over the last century? These waterbodies are vital for biodiversity and could help us adapt to climate change so it's important to understand why they are declining. Watch the #PONDERFUL video: bit.ly/PONDERFULfilm

That's how you do it!!! Our brilliant partner @Wensumfarmers showing the way...which is of course pond restoration...
