Riparia is a non-profit cooperative and social enterprise of environmental scientists, restoration practitioners and sustainability strategists,  united by a shared mission: transforming ecosystem restoration from a cost into a strategic investment that generates measurable environmental, social, and economic returns.

Founded in 2025 through the support of Italy's National Biodiversity Future Center (NBFC), we combine rigorous scientific methodologies with deep territorial engagement to create Nature-Based Solutions that work — ecologically, socially, and economically.

Through our Hub & Spokes model, we connect scientific research and authorities objectives  with territorial expertise and experience, focusing on Italy and Europe.

Independent scientific advisors

Every ecosystem restoration project we develop is shaped in collaboration with independent scientific advisors who bring diverse and complementary expertise.

Their role is to contribute additional perspective and insights, strengthening project design, implementation, monitoring and adaptive management across scientific, technical and social dimensions.

Together, our current independent scientific advisors bring expertise and experience across three areas.
