Environmental restoration

Environmental restoration means taking action to fix or heal parts of the environment that have been damaged by people.

Think of your favorite toy. If you accidentally break it, how would you fix it? You might glue the pieces back together or buy a new one. Environmental restoration is kind of like trying to glue the environment back together.

Sometimes people cause damage to places like forests, oceans, or habitats where animals live. They might cut down too many trees or let pollution from factories or cars get into the air or water. This can hurt the plants and animals living there, and even make it hard for people to breathe or get clean water.

To restore the environment, people work to remove the damage and help the natural processes heal the land, water, and air. For example, this could mean planting new trees or cleaning up polluted water. Some people even work to rebuild habitats or reintroduce animals back into their natural homes.

Environmental restoration might take a long time, but it's important because it helps the environment be healthy and happy again!
