| Summary: | "Ecological engineering covers numerous disciplines for the design of sustainable ecosystems that integrate human society with its natural environment for the benefit of both. Over the past 3 decades, dominated by climate change and weather disasters, its goals have been widened. These include the restoration of ecosystems that have been substantially disturbed by human activities for e.g. mining and exploration of natural resources. There is a demand to reinforce nature's ecosystem services for the contemporary world.
