Restoration refers to the process of returning degraded or damaged ecosystems, habitats, or species to their original or natural state. This can include reforestation, wetland restoration, and habitat rehabilitation. The goal of restoration is to improve biodiversity, ecosystem services, and overall ecosystem health. Restoration projects may involve planting native species, removing invasive species, restoring natural hydrology, and other techniques to help rebuild and rehabilitate natural environments. Restoration is often used in conservation efforts to address environmental degradation and improve the functioning of ecosystems.
