tundra restoration

Tundra restoration involves practices to repair and revive damaged tundra ecosystems, which are cold, treeless regions found in the Arctic. Human activities like oil drilling, mining, and infrastructure development can disturb these fragile environments. Restoration methods include replanting native vegetation, removing invasive species, and protecting soil and permafrost from further disturbance. The goal is to help native plants and animals recover, maintain carbon storage in permafrost, and support the overall health of the ecosystem. Restoring tundra not only preserves its unique biodiversity but also helps mitigate climate change impacts by maintaining its role as a global carbon sink.
