Ecological restoration is a multidisciplinary branch of science that focuses on restoring or repairing ecosystems that have been degraded, damaged, or destroyed by human activity or natural disasters. This field aims to revive the functionality and biodiversity of ecosystems, promote ecosystem services, and enhance resilience to future disturbances. Ecological restoration often involves a combination of biological, ecological, and engineering techniques to assist in the recovery of degraded ecosystems, such as reintroducing native plants, controlling invasive species, and rehabilitating soil and water quality. The ultimate goal of ecological restoration is to create sustainable and healthy ecosystems that can support a wide range of plant and animal species, as well as provide benefits to humans and the environment.
