Most countries have initiatives that help in restoring their ecosystems. these ecosystems include: oceans, forests, farms and also wetlands. The initiatives can be implemented by the government, communities or even at an individual level depending on the rates of degradation.

Some of the activities used in restoring ecosystems include: tree planting, minimize harmful waste disposal especially of plastic products. Though it is difficult to restore the ecosystem as it originally was, a certain degree of restoration positively benefits both the environment and the people who depend on it.
