ecological restoration
Healing damaged ecosystems
Ecological restoration is the practice of helping damaged or destroyed ecosystems recover their natural structure and function.
It ranges from removing invasive species to reintroducing native plants and animals to reestablishing natural water flows.
The wetland ecological restoration project took fifteen years to show results.
The field balances scientific intervention with letting nature heal itself.
