Natural recovery
Natural recovery refers to the process by which ecosystems, species, or individuals regain health or functionality without human intervention. This can occur after disturbances such as natural disasters, pollution, or overexploitation. For example, a forest may gradually return to its original state following a wildfire, with new growth and wildlife reestablishing themselves over time. In health contexts, it pertains to individuals recovering from diseases or mental health issues naturally, relying on their body's resilience and supportive environments. Overall, natural recovery highlights nature's ability to heal and restore balance on its own.
