Urban nature restoration is the practice of actively repairing, reviving, and reintroducing natural habitats within cities. It focuses on degraded urban land, water systems, and habitats so they can function as healthy, natural ecosystems once again. By restoring nature, cities can transform concrete landscapes into resilient ecosystems that provide benefits to help both people and wildlife thrive together.
