By sharing our knowledge as wide as possible the share ecosystem approach can strengthen the resilience of many ecosystems
Interview: Managing rather than fighting seems to work
Trade magazine My Nature interviewed Jessica Snoek, the new project leader of LIFE Resilias for the autumn issue of 2025. The article 'New insights argue for different approach to invasive exotics - Managing rather than fighting seems to work' talks about the (now) six years of experience that Bosgroep Zuid Nederland and Stichting Bargerveen have with [...]
Resilias in France
The French government, together with species, biodiversity and invasive species organisations, organises exchanges on invasive species between policymakers and researchers. Introduction by Bart Nyssen at Atelier 1: How to move from focusing on a species to focusing on ecosystem restoration on a larger scale.

Publication: Rejuvenation under American bird cherry - a guide for forest managers
To better understand the impact of bird cress on the rejuvenation of native tree species, the Technical University of Dresden conducted a five-year study followed by another five years of observation. The research also supports the LIFE Resilias project, which investigates how strengthening ecosystem resilience can help reduce invasive [...]
Publication: ecosystem approach to water crassula remains bespoke
It is now clear that completely eradicating water crassula is not feasible in many cases. The European LIFE project Resilias is therefore committed to controlling this invasive exotic species by breaking its dominance. The project has been running for a few years now and in this article on Nature Today, project leaders Laura [...]
Experiences of tackling knotweed in stream valleys
Rob van der Burg is an ecologist at Bosgroep Zuid Nederland and co-responsible for implementing, monitoring and evaluating the ecosystem approach to Asian knotweed in stream valleys within LIFE Resilias. This European project is now halfway through and the project team is seeing encouraging initial results. According to Rob, the various experiments are also already delivering [...]
ICAIS symposium
This week, the ICAIS symposium takes place in Halifax, Canada. This symposium focuses on the latest scientific knowledge around aquatic invasive exotic species. Experts from around the world will discuss innovative strategies for managing and controlling these invasive species. Janneke van der Loop will give a presentation on LIFE Resilias and [...]
