Eco-restoration

Eco-restoration

Ecological restoration basically aims to assist an ecosystem move backwards in historical path to its near pristine form. While the restored ecosystem will not necessarily revert back its exact former state due to restrictions such as climatic change, urbanization, acclimatization of species etc., however, the general direction may be replicated. In order to restore an ecosystem a combination of knowledge of its former state, data from existing intact ecosystems (reference sites), and other ecological, cultural and historical information is needed. These sources will enable the identification of the historical trajectory, and aid in assisting the ecosystem towards health and integrity.
