Summary Introduction
To identify: The major goal of restoration ecology.
Concept introduction: The ecosystems can be recovered naturally, with the help of various disturbances that occurs through the ecological succession stages. The ecologists of restoration seek in initiating or speeding up the degraded ecosystems recovery. It is also assumed that the environmental damage is reversible partially.
