Ecological restoration, or ecosystem restoration, is the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, destroyed [1] or transformed. [2] It is distinct from conservation in that it attempts to retroactively repair already damaged ecosystems rather than take preventative measures.
Ecological restoration, the process of repairing sites in nature whose biological communities and ecosystems have been degraded or destroyed. Ecological restoration focuses on repairing the damage to ecosystems caused by human activities and seeks to return them to an earlier state.
Ecological restoration aims to recreate, initiate, or accelerate the recovery of an ecosystem that has been disturbed. Disturbances are environmental changes that alter ecosystem structure and...
Restoration means halting pollution, reducing and treating waste, managing demand for water and fish, and reviving vegetation above and below the surface. Did you know? Many fish eat insects, so humanity can restore rivers by letting more insect-friendly plants grow on their banks.
Ecosystem restoration means assisting in the recovery of ecosystems that have been degraded or destroyed, as well as conserving the ecosystems that are still intact.
Ecological restoration (ER) is the path to urban sustainability because it provides opportunities for natural environment conservation, increases people’s understanding of the value of nature, improves human health and creativity, solves economic problems, and provides habitat and food for wildlife (Platt, 2004).
The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration highlights the urgent need for protecting and reviving landscapes and marine ecosystems. Here's what you need to know.
Ecological restoration plays a significant role in conserving biodiversity by reviving habitats that have been altered or destroyed. By reintroducing native species and enhancing ecological functions, restoration projects create conditions for diverse plant and animal communities to thrive.
Ecological restoration is the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged or destroyed. It is an intentional activity that initiates or accelerates an eco-logical pathway—or trajectory through time—towards a refer-ence state (see Boxes 1 and 2).
By definition, ecosystem restoration is the recovery from degraded conditions to a state characterized by similar structure and function prior to disturbance, whereas ecosystem rehabilitation aims to bring the environment to an improved state (López-Portillo et al., 2017).
