Wildlife restoration is the process of bringing back native animal and plant species to their natural habitats. This often involves habitat restoration, which includes improving the environment by removing invasive species, planting native vegetation, and ensuring clean water sources. The goal is to create a balanced ecosystem where wildlife can thrive. Efforts in wildlife restoration can also include breeding programs for endangered species, such as the California condor or Florida panther. These programs aim to increase population numbers and genetic diversity, helping to prevent extinction. Successful restoration projects contribute to biodiversity and the overall health of ecosystems.
