A new, soil-focused approach for habitat restoration
We believe that holistic habitat restoration efforts begin from the ground up. Our mission is to rebuild a thriving, resilient foundation by focusing on the soil's health and function. This targeted strategy empowers the entire ecosystem to regenerate and flourish, creating lasting biodiversity.
Phoenix Regen's 6 principles for regenerative habitat restoration:
- Implementing Management Strategies to Promote Soil Ecosystem Function: we avoid management practices that degrade soil health, and actively promote soil function as the living engine that drives ecosystem services.
- Slowing, Capturing, and Infiltrating Water: we establish the fundamental hydrological function of the system for long term soil, plant and wildlife resilience.
- Maximizing Ecological Complexity: we achieve ecosystem function through diversity, preserving and creating complexity for diverse site forms and micro-environments.
- Maximizing Vegetation Biodiversity and Maintaining Continuous Vegetative Cover: we build site health through strategic management that maintains soil cover, and enhances ecological function through diverse plant communities.
- Taking a Successional Approach: we embrace succession as a management tool, allowing for ecological processes to unfold over time and authentically rebuild landscape health.
- Integrating Human Connection and Aesthetic Appeal: we ensure that the restored landscape is appreciated and protected by the community, contributing to wider cultural values of stewarding nature.
