Restoring and rewilding ecosystems
It is a topical issue and has long been a research interest of NIOO: how do you restore nature? For example, former farmland can be made more suitable for nature again, and areas connected to each other. This approach could also help to mitigate the consequences of climate change. Furthermore, a growing amount of knowledge about rewilding has become available in recent years. It has become clear that, in the long run, rewilding yields strong ecosystems with more biodiversity. -
Ecosystemen herstellen en verwilderen
Het is een actueel onderwerp en al lang een onderzoeksinteresse van het NIOO: hoe kun je natuur herstellen? Voormalige landbouwgrond krijgt bijvoorbeeld weer een natuurfunctie en gebieden worden met elkaar verbonden. Dit kan ook helpen om de gevolgen van klimaatverandering op te vangen. De laatste jaren komt bovendien steeds meer kennis beschikbaar over ‘rewilding’. Het levert op de lange termijn sterke ecosystemen op met een grotere biodiversiteit, zo blijkt. -

Marker Wadden
The Marker Wadden is a newly constructed archipelago in lake Markermeer, which aims to improve the lake’s degrading food web by stimulating primary productivity. The archipelago consists of five islands that add a currently missing habitat type to the lake: shallow, sheltered waters with high nutrient availability and gradual land-water transitions. -
A living, breathing building
As sustainable as possible, in as many respects as possible: that was the imperative when the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) commissioned a new building. And we have done it! -

Nature research and society
NIOO has a vigorous and long-standing commitment to societal impact. Not only is NIOO housed in a sustainable building designed to translate our ecological principles in terms of architecture and construction, we also have a number of units that are tailor-made for disseminating our ecological knowledge to specific target groups, we have a very active outreach policy, and we actively involve citizens in our research through large-scale citizen-science projects. -
History of NIOO-KNAW
NIOO-KNAW was created in 1992 by merging three important ecological research institutes of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). Discover our history.
