Calls for return to pre European conditions:

This policy provides that “ecosystem restoration” can be carried out through the
processes of ecological restoration and functional restoration. Ecological restoration typically
focuses on recreating the ecosystem conditions that were present prior to European influences.
However, some ecosystems may have been altered to such an extent that reestablishing pre-European
conditions may be ecologically or economically infeasible. In such circumstances,
management goals and activities should create functioning ecosystems in the context of changing
conditions through the process called functional restoration.



A notice of availability of a proposed Ecological Restoration Policy (78 FR 56202) was
published in the Federal Register on September 12, 2013 for public review and comment. A
total of 16 comments were received: five from non-affiliated members of the public, two from
State government agencies, four from the timber industry, and five from non-governmental
organizations.
