Post 7 : A career-related article

Hello everyone, today I have to write about an article of my interest, related to my career, So I found something very interesting. I found an article about Habitat restoration.

Habitat Restoration

There are many factors that can change the ecosystem producing fragmentation and destruction.  Ecological restoration is a process that accelerates the recovery of destroyed ecosystems. The main object of habitat restoration is that the destroyed ecosystem be self-sufficient.
To restore habitats there are some steps:
1.       To identify the processes that degraded the ecosystem
2.       Create some methods to stop these processes
3.       To define realistic objects
4.       To develop some techniques to catch the goals
5.       To communicate and document the progress

A project of restoration have to has enough time for its development, and it has to be about recover the diversity and functionality in a ecosystem, ecologically and genetically talking, witouh forgetting the landscape. In habitat restoration, you must favour the connection between reforested areas with plantations, with the object to make ecological corridors for animals, and in this way, avoid genetical problems like endogamy.


In my personal opinion, I think these are very important because deforestation is a reality. Preserve and restore the ecosystem is very important for us, for the human well-being but more important, for all the living beings to maintain the equilibrium of all the interactions that are produced in an ecosystem.


Bye bye!
