Restoration Ecology is the study of recuperating degraded, damaged or destroyed ecosystems through active human intervention. Restoration ecology specifically refers to the scientific study; however the term is often used to include its application: ecological or, more generally, environmental restoration.
Ecological restoration is an “intentional activity that initiates or accelerates the recovery of an ecosystem with respect to its health, integrity and sustainability” (SER 2004). The practice of ecological restoration includes erosion control and reforestation, as well as habitat and range improvement. Some forms of these applications are hundreds or even thousands of years old (Anderson 2005). However, the study of restoration ecology has only become a robust and independent scientific discipline over the last two decades (Young et. al 2005).
