Restoration ecology is the scientific study of ecological restoration.
Explanation:
It is the practice of renewing and restoring degraded, damaged or destroyed ecosystems and habitats in the environment by active human intervention and action.
It involves intentional activities that initiate or accelerate the recovery of an ecosystem with respect to its health, integrity and sustainability.
Restoration ecology is commonly used for the academic study of the process, whereas ecological restoration is commonly used for the actual project or process by restoration practitioners. Conservation biology is often focussed on preventing ongoing degradation, whereas restoration ecology seeks to actively reverse such degradation.
