* '''Restoration Ecology''' — The scientific study of supporting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed.
* '''Reference Ecosystem''' — The "Target" or "Blueprint" of what the ecosystem looked like before it was damaged.
* '''Passive Restoration''' — Simply "Stopping the damage" (e.g., removing a dam) and letting nature fix itself.
* '''Active Restoration''' — Planting trees, moving animals, and removing invasive species to "Speed up" recovery.
* '''Reclamation''' — The process of making land useful again (e.g., making a park on top of a landfill).
* '''Re-wilding''' — The large-scale restoration of natural processes and apex predators (e.g., bringing back wolves or beavers).
* '''Assisted Migration''' — Moving a species to a new area because its original habitat is no longer suitable due to climate change.
* '''Succession''' — The natural process of change in an ecosystem over time (from weeds to shrubs to a full forest).
* '''Invasive Species Removal''' — The often-difficult task of killing or removing "Alien" species that are choking out the original wildlife.
* '''Bioremediation''' — Using living things (like bacteria or sunflowers) to "Eat" pollution out of the soil or water.
