restorationists
Those who rebuild
Restorationists are people who advocate or practice restoration—returning something to an earlier state.
In ecology, restorationists work to rehabilitate damaged ecosystems: The restorationists replanted native grasses across the prairie.
In religion, the term refers to movements seeking to return Christianity to its original first-century form, rejecting later doctrinal developments.
In art and architecture, restorationists repair and preserve historical works.
