[6/6] Lastly, we wish to say we SUPPORT the EU's funding of these conservation projects! Our goal has always been to improve how these funds operate so that they're more useful for both scientists and practitioners.

[5/6] We know our study has its limitations and that these documents and their evaluations might exist behind closed doors, however, their inaccessibility can actively hinder both scientific evidence-synthesis as well as practitioners in the field.

[4/6] The outcomes of the restoration project had never been documented elsewhere, and mechanical excavation was not documented within scientific literature. So, how many important lessons and case studies are we losing from all these ERDF projects?

[3/6] It isn't clear why ERDF projects aren't publicly documented. Earlier this year we looked at an ecological restoration project funded by ERDF that used mechanical excavation for invasive crayfish eradication and found that it was unsuccessful.
