With thanks
This roadmap exists because people gave their time to it.
To the practitioners, community leaders, and experts who sat down with us for interviews, and to everyone who answered the Global Survey on Citizen Action for Nature — thank you. What is written here comes from what you told us.

Survey distribution
Reaching 445 people in 43 countries took a network. Our thanks to the European NbS Hubs and partners — ICLEI Europe, ALDA, OPPLA, IUCN, Connecting Nature, and Biodiversa+ — and to the regional and international networks who carried the survey further: the Latin American Landscape Initiative (LALI), the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA), ICLEI Africa, Stew-MAP, the Stockholm Environment Institute offices in Asia and Africa, and the Urban Biodiversity Hub.
And to the wider NetworkNature community, whose ongoing work continues to advance the understanding and practice of nature-based solutions across Europe and beyond.
