Species recovery refers to the process of restoring populations of endangered or threatened species to healthy levels. This often involves habitat protection, legal measures, and conservation efforts aimed at reducing threats such as habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. Successful recovery can lead to the removal of a species from the endangered list.
Conservation organizations and governments work together to implement recovery plans, which may include breeding programs, habitat restoration, and public education. Notable examples of species recovery include the California condor and the gray wolf, both of which have seen population increases due to dedicated conservation efforts.
