Abstract/Summary:
In art, restoration involves recapturing an object’s aesthetic value. In ecology, the stakes are arguably much higher: Our planet’s future may depend on the maturation of the young discipline of ecological restoration. In this issue, we sample restoration projects around the world and consider the state of the science of this emerging field.
