Q.8. Desarbe the process of Ecosystem Restoration.
‘Ans. Ecosystem restoration & the "process of assisting the recovery of an
corpo that hasbeen degraded, damaged or destroyed
This means of sustaining the diversity of Life on eath and re-setablsing
an ecologically healthy tionship between nature and culture. Ecosystem
restoration should be a fundamental component of conservation and sustainable
development programs throughout the world by virtue of it inherent capacity
‘o provide people wih the opportunity to not only repair ecological damage, but
also improve the human condition.
"Bcosystem Restoration i thos a sgnlintconteibution tothe application of
the ecoaystem approsch, eg in informing the negotiation of land use options
snd enhancement of healthy ecological networks. The Commission on Ecosystem
Management (CEM) has identified ecosystem restoration as one ofits 19 prionty
thematic areas
For restoration to be succesful, tis essential to have understanding ofthe
«4ynamic of the ecosystem being restored, and to ensure the genetic integrity of
1s plants by using locally propagated epecies.
For information on selence and practice of ecosystem restoration, the Society for
Ecological Restoration (SER) provides the following documents
* SER Primer on ecological restoration ia concise statement of restoration
principles an includes the most cited defton of what stration i

Sescrbes the procedure for corfting restoration in accord withthe

id turbines produces a lot less electricity than the average fossil fueled
power station.
Applications:
(i Electricity generation —Wind turbines convert kinetic energy of wind to
mechanical energy which is further converted to electrical energy.
(ii) Wind powered water pumps—Wind helps to pump water out of the
ground. Its very helpful and sometimes acts as a much needed tool in
some countries.
