Abstract: Ecological restoration is considered by many to be a relatively new subdiscipline in ecology. However, in the United States and Canada, large-scale efforts to restore populations of numerous species of wild vertebrates have been ongoing since the early 20th century.

The roots of the Model first developed from early efforts by people such as Theodore Roosevelt as a conservation doctrine in a political response to the public outcry against the overharvest and waste of large mammals, waterfowl and wading birds that brought many species to the brink of extinction. There are seven principles on which the Model is based:
