Both sessions were organized into a presentation part followed by two in-depth break-out sessions. The sessions revolved around two central topics:
- identifying potential areas where to plan restoration activities (taking into account not only environmental aspects, but also aspects of local community welfare, cultural values, and economic development)
- evaluating the results of the restoration activities (from the contribution of modelling in planning the activities, to the concrete forms of landscape restoration already achieved).
