This study explores how people in a local context mobilise other actors over time and across (organisational, professional, geographical) boundaries to trigger collective action for biodiversity restoration. The research team conducted a historical analysis between 1985 and 2022 and identified patterns and factors that have contributed to constructive multi-stakeholder collaboration in 'Ooijpolder-Groesbeek', a leading region for nature and landscape development in the Netherlands.
The study was conducted as part of the Living Lab Ooijpolder-Groesbeek – a transdisciplinary research project investigating the conditions for biodiversity restoration in rural areas, funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO).
