Habitat Restoration: Addressing Challenges in a Changing World

Habitat loss and fragmentation are the leading causes of species losses and declines. Restoration actions are critically needed. But how do we know if we are providing what is needed and will restored areas be adequate and sustainable in the future? In this webinar, Jonathan Haufler with the Ecosystem Management Research Institute will discuss how we can restore needed habitat in strategic locations. Jon will address challenges such as climate change, invasive species, and novel ecosystems. Restoration objectives must start with first understanding what conditions define functional ecosystems for specific locations and then evaluate what can be sustained in the future. Jon will provide examples in various types of ecosystems including forests, shrublands, and grasslands. He will also discuss differences in potential solutions for public versus private lands.
