00:00:00 - 00:10:00

The video explains how to fix a broken ecosystem by stabilizing soils, infiltrating water, and planting pioneer species. Once a new ecosystem is established, native or non-native plants can be reintroduced to the area. This process can be done remotely using drones.

It goes on to explain that, in order to achieve healthy ecosystem status, there must be a balance of biomass (living organic material), necromass (dead material), and biodiversity (variety of life forms). Once these conditions are in place, functions of a healthy ecosystem can follow. This can be done by creating triggers (e.g. rain) that will help nature heal itself.
