Specific application of nature-based solutions in ecological restoration

As a result of the growing human capacity to exploit and the rising and demand for natural resources, the earth is now experiencing ecological overload.Ecological restoration has emerged as a significant concern that human beings must confront. The notion of Nature-based Solutions introduced by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2004 has garnered increasing scholarly interest in recent years . As to the IUCN, nature-based solutions refer to measures that safeguard, responsibly oversee, and rehabilitate both natural and modified ecosystems. Since the concept of nature-based solution was put forward, numerous scholars have made various attempts to use it in the field of ecological restoration. Through the method of literature review, this paper elucidates the basic principles of ecological restoration and nature-based solutions. This research studies the specific implementation of nature-based solutions in ecological restoration, focusing on their specific application in water body and land restoration. Additionally, this paper summarizes the advancements made in this field of research and provides illustrative examples of nature-based solutions applied in ecological restoration.
