Restoration Results
Restoration Results
- Achieved over 50% ground cover
- Improved NDVI by more than 20%
- Improved soil physicochemical properties by more than 20%
- Confirmed the scalability of a community-linked ecological restoration model
- Expanded into a second-year restoration phase
The importance of this project lies not only in field restoration outcomes, but also in showing that a collaboration-based operating model can work in practice. It demonstrates that the foundation has been established not just for short-term restoration, but for long-term ecological recovery.
