rehabilitators
Those who restore
Rehabilitators are people who rehabilitate—restoring something or someone to a former condition or capacity.
Wildlife rehabilitators nurse injured animals back to health for release.
The term also applies to those who restore buildings, reputations, or historical figures' legacies: Rehabilitators of Nixon's image have had mixed success.
In criminal justice contexts, rehabilitators work to reintegrate offenders into society.
