Award Recognition for Connectology’s Work in MERLIN

At the MERLIN Conference, Yulia Demus, Project Manager at Connectology, received an award recognising her contribution to “bridging the gap between private and public finances for restoration teams.” This distinction highlights a significant achievement within the project and underlines the importance of advancing financing solutions for ecosystem restoration.

The recognition also reflects the impact of her work within MERLIN’s core objective: supporting ecosystem restoration across Europe by enabling access to diverse and effective financing pathways.

Throughout the project, Connectology has played a key role in helping restoration initiatives navigate the complex landscape of funding opportunities. By identifying innovative public and private financing mechanisms and equipping project leaders with the tools and knowledge needed to scale their initiatives, Connectology has helped strengthen the financial foundations of nature restoration efforts.
