Abstract
As individuals it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the continuing media coverage of environmental problems, such as climate change, species loss, and overpopulation. As a result it is often profoundly difficult to imagine ways to contribute meaningfully to environmental solutions. Ecological restoration, however, provides hands-on opportunities for everyone, from the general populace to experts, to come together, forging solutions, and making a difference. Ecological restoration empowers people.
