Rebuilding an Ecosystem by Adrian D Manning
This book explores the nexus between ecological research and restoration through the long-term Mulligans Flat - Goorooyarroo Woodland Experiment. It synthesises 20 years of collaboration between researchers, government decision-makers, and conservation practitioners, offering valuable insights into the challenges, successes, and best practices of ecological restoration. Designed for researchers, policymakers, and restoration practitioners, this book is an essential guide to establishing long-term restoration projects with multiple partner organisations. Challenges and successes are discussed throughout, with chapter summaries highlighting key takeaways, making it a practical resource for both practitioners and academics. A dedicated chapter on Synthesis for Ecological Teaching distils insights from the Recovering Threatened Species and Ecosystems course developed at The Australian National University, providing an invaluable case study for undergraduate, graduate, and professional education. The book concludes with reflections from land managers and a vision for future directions to guide to the integration of research and restoration for lasting ecological impact.-
