repopulations
Restoring depleted population numbers
Repopulations are instances of populating again—restoring people, animals, or other organisms to places they once inhabited.
The term appears in ecology, history, and urban planning: wolf repopulations in Yellowstone, repopulations of war-ravaged cities, bacterial repopulations after antibiotic treatment.
