Restoration for the Future Generation

             Many of the world's ecosystems have deteriorated significantly, posing a threat to biological variety and human livelihoods. There is a growing recognition that protecting key places alone will not be enough to preserve the earth's biological diversity. When it is appropriate, Ecosystem restoration should be a key component of conservation and sustainable development programs to ensure that people who rely on degraded ecosystems may maintain their livelihoods.

Bringing degraded habitats back to life, for example by planting trees, cleaning up riverbanks, or just allowing nature to regenerate, boosts society's and biodiversity's benefits. We will not be able to meet the Sustainable Development Goals or the Paris Climate Agreement unless we restore ecosystems. Healthy soils are essential for our food systems as well as the restoration of forest and agrarian crops. However, soil degradation jeopardizes not only the ecosystem's intrinsic worth, but also its ability to generate healthy and sustainable crops. As a result, soil restoration is critical to the survival of life on Earth.  Ecosystems, on the other hand, are complex and diverse, and their restoration necessitates caution patient implementation and careful planning. To transition from exploiting nature to healing it, ecosystem restoration entails avoiding, halting, and reversing the damage. It also asks for assistance in the restoration of ecosystems that have been degraded or destroyed, as well as the preservation of ecosystems that have not been degraded or destroyed. Disturbances are changes in the environment that affect the structure and function of ecosystems. Logging, damming rivers, intensive grazing, hurricanes, floods, and fires are all common disruptions. Restoration actions could be planned to recreate a pre-disturbance ecosystem or to build a new ecosystem where none existed before. The scientific study of restoring degraded ecosystems by human intervention is known as restoration ecology.

Restoration can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including actively planting or eliminating pressures to allow nature to regenerate on its own. Ecosystem restoration on a global scale is critical if we are to reduce the severity of the current ecological catastrophe and safeguard biodiversity for future generations.
