Ecosystem and its conservation
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Globally, ecosystems and their restoration and conservation are attracting enormous attention. In recent times, people have gradually realized the importance of ecosystems and the need for ecosystem conservation. At the same time, many scientific conservation measures and methods have been developed, some of which are costly but at least have made a difference in ecosystem restoration. By reviewing a series of related literature, it is possible to see the different views and responses to ecosystems and their conservation in many periods of time, and to realize the seriousness of the situation and challenges facing humanity. The literature review discusses the scientific approach and thinking about the reversibility of ecosystem restoration and rehabilitation.
