This is mega cool.

We know we can get close to re-establishing disturbed ecosystem, but since no one has the money or time to measure over the very long term (multi-decadal scale) it’s hard to see if our efforts will actually do anything meaningful. So far, measurements have conclusions like:

“Soil and veg are showing signs of recovery and some key spp (R-selectors, mostly) are returning. We hope this trend will continue and recovery to the desired ecosystems will be achieved”

While this article doesn’t really show the long term recovery, it’s really strong evidence that key conservation and recovery strategies are effective
