Restoration ecology plays a vital role in mitigating habitat loss by focusing on the recovery of degraded ecosystems. This field employs scientific methods to restore ecological integrity, improving the resilience and functioning of these habitats. Restoration activities can include reforestation, wetland rehabilitation, and soil restoration. By enhancing biodiversity, it facilitates the recovery of species populations and provides critical services like carbon sequestration and water filtration. Ultimately, restoration ecology strives to reconnect fragmented landscapes and improve overall ecosystem health.
