* **Reclamation** aims to recover productivity (but little of the original biodiversity) at a degraded site. In time, the protective function and many of the original * ecological services may be re-established. Reclamation is often done with exotic species but may also involve native species. (WWF/IUCN 2000) n.b. Reclamation is also used for creating new land from the sea, the polders (WF). | * **Reclamation** aims to recover productivity (but little of the original biodiversity) at a degraded site.

* **Recovery of a habitat** is linked to the ecological succession of a site. That is the site returning naturally to the state in which it had been before being degraded or destroyed without any intervention from humans (CFIOR websites). | * **Recovery of a habitat** is linked to the ecological succession of a site.

- | * **Ecosystem gardening** is a practise developed at the Gurukula Botanical Sanctuary for gathering, propagating and distributing endangered species and to create their respective microclimates with the aim of full biodiversity for tropical ecosystems with high feature diversity and endemism. For this purpose indigenous women are trained to become ecosystem gardeners. In the future they aim to become a parataxonomy and ecosystem gardening training center. | + | * **Ecosystem gardening** is a practise developed at the Gurukula Botanical Sanctuary for gathering, propagating and distributing endangered species and to create their respective microclimates with the aim of full biodiversity for tropical ecosystems with high levels of feature diversity and endemism.

+ | * the Madagascar Biodiversity Fund > Established in 2005 and governed by an independent Board of Trustees, it now has a capital base of $50 million. The Fund is dispersing funds to protected areas across the country including both the national parks and, more recently, the new protected areas under management by NGOs and others. The Fund is also committed to increasing its capital base to ensure it can support increasing conservation needs for the long-term. | ||
