Land rehabilitation is the process of restoring degraded land to a healthy and productive state. This can involve removing pollutants, reintroducing native plants, and improving soil quality. The goal is to recover ecosystems that have been damaged by activities like mining, agriculture, or urban development.
Effective land rehabilitation helps to enhance biodiversity, prevent soil erosion, and improve water quality. It often requires collaboration among environmental scientists, local communities, and government agencies to ensure that the restored land can support both wildlife and human needs sustainably.
