The primary challenge in restoring damaged ecosystems lies in achieving ecological balance. Disturbances such as pollution, invasive species, and climate change can alter habitat conditions, complicating restoration efforts. Understanding the intricate relationships within ecosystems is vital for successful rehabilitation, as it requires knowledge of species interactions, nutrient cycles, and habitat requirements. Moreover, engaging local communities and stakeholders is essential to ensuring that restoration practices are socially and economically viable. Comprehensive planning and monitoring are key to overcoming these challenges and achieving lasting ecological recovery.
