This guide provides an overview of the process of habitat restoration and how to effectively rebuild and preserve natural environments. It covers topics such as assessing the current state of the habitat, identifying the species of plants and animals that need to be reintrodu
Ecological restoration, or ecosystem restoration, is the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, destroyed or transformed. It is distinct from conservation in that it attempts to retroactively repair already damaged ecosystems rather than take preventative measures. Ecological restoration can help to reverse biodiversity loss, combat climate change, support the provision of ecosystem services and support local economies. The United Nations has named 2021–2030 the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
