Ecological restoration is no longer a niche practice--it's a global, interdisciplinary movement uniting scientists, land stewards, policymakers, and community volunteers around the urgent task of repairing damaged ecosystems. This updated and reorganized edition offers a clear, engaging, and comprehensive guide to the field for anyone involved in restoration projects--from permitting and funding to design, implementation, and long-term care.

Blending scientific insight with real-world application, the authors introduce foundational concepts and principles while exploring the cultural, ecological, and personal motivations that drive restoration work. Through a lively and accessible style, they examine how restoration functions at the intersection of biodiversity conservation, sustainability, and community action.

This second edition of Ecological Restoration the structure of restoration practice, considers its evolving relationship with allied fields such as conservation biology and environmental planning, and reflects on the growth of the profession itself. It also features in-depth case studies and Virtual Field Trips from around the world, offering readers a window into diverse projects and the voices behind them.

More than a technical manual, this is a guide to thinking--and working--restoratively. It encourages readers to view restoration as a dynamic, holistic process rooted in local knowledge, ecological science, and a deep commitment to repairing our relationship with the natural world.
