Hopes For The Future: Restoration Ecology and Conservation Biology

Recently, I found this article from an online scientific magazine [sciencemag.org] regarding the topic of 'Human Dominated Ecosystems', which describes the effects that humans have on the natural habitats and ecologies of our environment. What was most remarkable were the charts and graphs provided that illicit the drastic effects of the ratio of 'population : degradation'. The article primarily focuses on the developments in restoration ecology (the practice of mitigating and remediating the ill-effects of an ecology marred by humanization) and their positive qualties when paired with conservation biology (the practice of preventing such effects through design). I view this article as a primer towards my research, as it features ecologies, restoration, biodiversity and their relationship with humanization and agriculture.
