1. re-establish ecological processes 2. rehabilitate the system 3. eliminate invasive species 4. increase or maintain native species

Question 12

mitigation-

Answer 12

the action of reducing the severity, seriousness or painfulness of something. Can be an outcome of restoration

use results to adapt and learn

Question 27

what is adaptive management?

Answer 27

incorporates research into conservation management action. specifically, it is the integration of design, management and monitoring to systematically test assumptions in order to adapt and learn.
