Abstract/Summary:
This Policy Position Statement outlines the critical role of ecological restoration in safeguarding rare, endangered, and endemic species amid the uncertainties of climate change. It discusses the ways in which restoration can be used alongside other management strategies to improve species’ resilience by increasing habitat area, reconnecting fragmented landscapes, and improving both ecosystem function and structural complexity at the landscape scale.
