Restoration Ecology is a scientific field focused on the recovery and rehabilitation of ecosystems that have been degraded, damaged, or destroyed. It involves understanding the original conditions of an ecosystem and implementing strategies to restore its structure, function, and biodiversity. This can include activities like replanting native species, removing invasive species, and restoring natural water flow. Practitioners of Restoration Ecology often work in collaboration with local communities, governments, and organizations to ensure sustainable practices. The goal is to create resilient ecosystems that can thrive independently, benefiting both the environment and human populations. Key concepts include biodiversity, ecosystem services, and sustainability.
