abstract = {Since its emergence in the past decades, restoration
ecology has demonstrated an astounding growth as a new
discipline of applied science. At the same time, this young
discipline has been criticized for its retrospective goals
largely based on the past, its fragmented approach, and its
idealistic goals, which do not relate to the real world
context. Restoration with past-focused, idealistic, and/or
ad hoc goals may not work in the future because an ecosystem
that is restored for the past environment is not likely to
be sustainable in the changing environment of the future,
simple recomposition of isolated and fragmented naturalistic
patches is not likely to restore ecosystem functions, and
unrealistic goals and work plans are not likely to gain
public support. We advocate directing the principles and
practice of ecological restoration to the future.
Future-aimed restoration should acknowledge the changing and
unpredictable environment of the future, assume the dynamic
nature of ecological communities with multiple trajectories,
and connect landscape elements for improving ecosystem
functions and structures. In this paper, we discuss the
predictability of restoration trajectories under changing
environmental conditions, the application of ecological
theories to restoration practice, the importance of
interdisciplinary approaches and human interventions in
ecosystem recovery, and the social context of ecological
restoration.},
