Ecological Restoration 
Ecological restoration is an applied, science-based approach to assisting recovery of landscape degradation and destruction in ecosystems across the planet. In tandem with conservation biology, ecological restoration applies science and practice to adaptative ecosystem management to help the recovery of biodiversity, enhance stewardship practices, foster mutual benefits between ecosystems and humanity, and build social-ecological connections. The field of ecological restoration offers solutions that address climate change impacts and land use changes to benefit biodiversity and human well-being. 

Conservation Biology 
Conservation biology is an applied, interdisciplinary field of science focusing on threats to species, the extent of global biodiversity loss, and ways to work to mitigate their loss. The field incorporates evolutionary biology, population and community ecology, geography, anthropology, wildlife management, and social sciences. Modern approaches to conservation biology focus on how humans and wildlife can coexist in ethical and sustainable ways while mitigating practices that have historically excluded communities from managing their lands. Conservation biologists hope to utilize varied techniques to help establish best management practices to minimize extinction and ensure the long-term viability of endangered species.
