Welcome! This website has 16 proposals for
potential restoration ecology projects, all of which are located within
the political boundaries of New York City. All proposals are offered
freely for use and implementation - we wish for these ideas to be
implemented and the concepts that they contain popularized.
The proposals were created as part of a graduate seminar entitled Restoration and Urban Ecology of New York City offered by the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology at Columbia University, taught by James Danoff-Burg. These proposals were all created so as to have an ecosystem level focus, so they are not geared towards restoring a single species. All detail the historical and current conservation issues present at that site and also contextualize the ideas within the most current and relevant theories of restoration ecology. All papers roughly adhere to the following structure:
Thank you for your concern and interest in Restoring New York City. |
