Ecological restoration

Compensation for destroying a site by purchasing or creating one of more or less equal ecological value somewhere else

Using living organisms to remove toxins

To reverse degradation and restore native ecosystem

Repairing ecosystem function, but not to original condition (may be similar to the original community or an entirely different community)

Employs stronger, more extreme techniques to clean up severe pollution or create a newly functioning ecosystem on a seriously degraded or barren site

Transplanting organisms from an external source to a site where they have been previously reduced/eliminated

Began protecting streams and wetlands from pollution discharge

Once covered areas between Great Plains and the deciduous forest of the eastern U.S.

Using chemical, physical, or biological methods to remove pollution while causing as little disruption as possible

Blocked agricultural subsidies to farmers who damaged wetlands

Rehabilitation
