Appendix to the pondscape leaflets (PONDERFUL DEMO-sites)

In the framework of the project PONDERFUL, a synthetic “leaflet” has been developed for each of the
pondscapes making part of DEMO-sites implemented across Europe, Turkey and Uruguay. The main
objective of the leaflets is to present a selection of science-based success stories in the implementation
of pondscapes as Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for addressing societal challenges (such as climate
change and biodiversity loss), and to promote the transferability of these practices elsewhere. The
success stories are evidenced in this leaflet by the measurement of indicators of the Nature
Contribution to People, and by a cost-benefit analysis.

The leaflets were written and designed to interest and inspire professionals in land use planning and
management of natural areas, people active in NGOs, and also for a wider and more varied public.

The information provided in the leaflet is intentionally simplified to avoid excessive jargon and
scientific complexity and to remain accessible and understandable to a broad audience.

This appendix explains the vocabulary and gives some guidance on the different headings.
