Restor has consulted with a wide range of experts in order to determine which information is required vs. optional to create a site profile. There are several important reasons to include some consistent baseline information:
it makes it possible to filter projects on Restor based on key characteristics,
it provides standardized data to researchers seeking to improve restoration science,
it ensures a minimum level of transparency across the Restor community.
Restor is currently participating in multi-stakeholder processes to develop consistent sets of restoration indicators. As these indicator processes advance, we may shift site information to reflect them.
