Regulation on Nature Restoration: European Commission
Dr. Humberto Delgado Rosa:
It would be any measure that would extensify grassland use such as having fewer animals per hectare, having raised a water level without affecting the grassland or using fewer inputs. Whatever will bring benefits for biodiversity or climate amounts to restoration. The figures to which the Deputy referred are correct, notwithstanding the flexibility clauses that allow member states to opt for other types of peatland other than for agricultural use.
