repopulation
Filling empty places
Repopulation is the process of filling an area with inhabitants again after it has been emptied or depleted.
This applies to humans resettling abandoned regions, wildlife returning to habitats, or organisms recolonizing ecosystems.
The repopulation of wolves in Yellowstone transformed the park's ecology.
The term often appears in discussions of post-war reconstruction, conservation efforts, or recovery from natural disasters.
