The term for the restoration of degraded ecosystems is known as ecological restoration. This process involves rehabilitating environments that have been damaged or destroyed by human activities, such as pollution, deforestation, or urban development. The goal is to return these ecosystems to a state where they can function effectively, support biodiversity, and provide essential ecosystem services. Ecological restoration often includes activities such as habitat reconstruction, soil remediation, and the reintroduction of native species. This field is essential for achieving sustainability and mitigating the effects of environmental degradation.
