Abstract: Abstract Across the world, experiments have shown us the possibility of reversing ecological damage by employing restoration strategies to counter biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. The discipline of ecological restoration encompasses efforts aimed at enabling the restoration of the structure and function of ecosystems, thereby facilitating the provision of goods and services ensuing from the ecosystems. Ecological restoration has emerged as a critical strategy for addressing the pressing global challenges of climate change, land degradation, and the loss of vital ecosystem services. This comprehensive approach aims to revive the health, integrity, and sustainability of degraded ecosystems, ultimately enhancing their resilience to the impacts of a changing climate. This branch draws upon the foundations of ecological theory, and applies an interdisciplinary approach. The disciplines of earth sciences, life sciences and social sciences are employed to achieve ecological goals that benefit society.
