Reclamation

Reclamation is the process of restoring and rehabilitating disturbed land or ecosystems, often due to human activities like mining, construction, or industrial use. It involves techniques to recover the environment, such as soil improvement, planting native vegetation, and re-establishing wildlife habitats. The goal is to make the land usable again, either for agriculture, recreation, or natural habitats, while minimizing the environmental impacts of the original disturbance. Reclamation helps ensure that land can support life and contribute to biodiversity after being altered or degraded.
