What is REECOL?
The REECOL project gathers eleven partners representing research institutions and industrial companies from five European countries. The partnership aims at providing solutions to ensure long-term environmental sustainability of coal regions in transition.
A significant improvement of post-mining ecological rehabilitation approaches which take into account ecosystem degradation degree, future intended land uses, affordability of the solutions and impact of climate change is the expected result of the project outputs implementation.
The project goals represent a balanced composition of research, innovation, and practical application, all aimed at transforming the way in which rehabiitiation of post-mining areas is carried out.
REECOL project aims to establish procedures and solutions for ecological rehabilitation and long term monitoring of post mining areas.
The project will deliver a novel and innovative research with direct and positive impacts on the coal regions in transition and support sustainable ecological rehabilitation options with long-term viability and good socio-ecological performance.
