Ecological restoration is a growing field of study designed to holistically assess damage to ecological integrity, as well as identify scientific, social, economic, and political strategies to remediate these negative impacts, and reconcile human and broader ecosystem needs. While significant advancement has been made on the scientific end, other aspects are lagging. Ecological restoration is promising in its intrinsically inclusive and multi-dimensional approach to improving environmental quality and providing tangible socio-economic value through healthy ecosystem services, however for it to truly be effective it must be integrated into governmental decision-making and action. The goal of this book is to inform planners and policy-makers about the relationship of ecosystem health to human prosperity to drive restoration priorities, about the unavoidable task of ecological restoration, and about how existing planning tools can be used to achieve positive results.
