Restoration Ecology and Sustainable Ecosystem Recovery
Abstract
Restoration ecology is a scientific discipline focused on repairing, recovering and managing ecosystems that have been degraded, damaged, or destroyed by human activities and natural disturbances. Sustainable ecosystem recovery aims not only to restore ecological functions and biodiversity but also to ensure long-term resilience and environmental sustainability. Recent advances in restoration ecology integrate ecological science, conservation practices and community participation to rehabilitate ecosystems, enhance ecosystem services and support biodiversity conservation in the face of global environmental challenges.
