Does nature restoration always reduce disease risk?
Not automatically. Outcomes depend on local ecology, land use, host species, pathogens and how restoration is designed.

🔎 #RESTOREIDRewind
Sweden looks densely forested from above, but many forests are simplified and fragmented.
Across 20 plots, RESTOREID studied how restoration and forestry affect wildlife communities and pathogens.

🔎 #RESTOREIDRewind
Former industrial sites in Flanders are becoming forests and wetlands. As wildlife returns, how might pathogen dynamics change?
Explore RESTOREID’s work with rodents, ticks, eDNA and soundscapes:

🔎 #RESTOREIDRewind
Mosquito traps, leaf swabs, blowflies and sound recorders. In Côte d’Ivoire, RESTOREID used them to uncover how forest recovery shapes biodiversity and zoonotic risk.

Rise and shine! ☀️ ⏰️
It's your last chance to join @BiodiversaPlus' webinar today at 10 am CEST!
See you there! ➡️ bit.ly/4xTdKAi
🚀 A new chapter starts today.
The One Health KEN brings together researchers, policymakers, practitioners and projects working across biodiversity and health.

🌍🔎 This might look like a scene from #WhereIsWally, but that's just how busy things are at the @WOHCongress today.
We are here with @BcomingEU, @BEPREP_EU and #ZOE proving that interesting conversations happen when different disciplines step outside their comfort zones. 🤝

How can nature restoration reduce zoonotic risk?
New Biodiversa+ guidance, developed with #RESTOREID contributions, calls for One Health to be integrated into restoration planning.

What do woodland rodents do when nobody is watching? 🐭
RESTOREID researchers used movement loggers to study how forest age and connectivity affect rodents, their behaviour and the viruses they carry.

What can restored forests and wetlands tell us through sound?
In Scotland, RESTOREID combined acoustic monitoring, habitat surveys, eDNA and pathogen sampling to investigate ecosystem recovery.

🌱 How can biodiversity restoration, public health, and finance work together?
In a past interview with BIO-CAPITAL, #RESTOREID explored the value of cross-project collaboration and innovative approaches to supporting nature restoration.

🌿 “If restoration isn't done properly, it could be problematic.”
RESTOREID coordinator Lucinda Kirkpatrick discussed why restoration must be carefully planned to support biodiversity while reducing the risk of disease spillover.

🌿 What does RESTOREID fieldwork look like?
In Yangambi (DR Congo), researchers used biodiversity monitoring, eDNA sampling to explore how ecosystem restoration may influence zoonotic disease risk.
