Nature has a plan to recover what is lost. I call this Restoration Ecology.
We live in a world with a rapidly changing climate. One controversial approach to dealing with climate change is what is called ‘assisted migration’: the idea of establishing a species in a place where it does not presently occur and has not occurred in the recent past, but where the climate is predicted to be suitable for that species to grow in the future. Whether that species be plants, animals or other. If the climate is currently changing faster than many plants and animals can move ie: migration, and many hospitable habitat patches are now isolated, then it may be necessary to actively move species to new habitats.
With the dreadful drought that is present in Australia and the disastrous bush fires as per the videos below that seems to be surrounding much of the country and coast..there is already some good stories of where nature is trying to recover from what is lost. However, restoration activities should instead be viewed as complementary to, not a substitute for, efforts for the conservation of biodiversity.
Ecological restoration is a rapidly growing field that represents a foundational change in our relationship to the natural world. We need to remember to plant more trees, embrace the natural gardens around us....and prepare ourselves that is just the start of change..
