Description: Speakers from Africa, Australia, and Nepal demonstrate various ways in which natural regeneration approaches can serve as the primary mechanism for recovering native species at restoration sites, often achieving impressive biodiversity outcomes at relatively low cost. Whether it involves utilizing regeneration potential after removing competition, reinstating appropriate natural disturbance, or restoring hydrological regimes, natural regeneration is increasingly being considered a restoration approach that pays dividends for both nature and people.
