Restore-a-Nation: The Economic Benefits of Restoring Our National Parks
Restore-A-Nation Report (5.34 MB)This report published by the National Parks Conservation Association, highlights the need for continuing investments in climate restoration projects to sustain economies, maintain healthy ecosystems, and create American jobs.
What does it mean to “restore” a river, a national park, or for that matter, a nation? In conservation terms, restoration is defined as the process of re-establishing self-sustaining habitats and building resilience to support numerous species now and in the future.
