"It's possible to restore even very damaged reefs back to healthy, functional systems within relatively short periods of time."

Interconnected metal stars provide a foundation for an entire new reef to grow on the remains of dynamited coral.

Scientists are on a quest to log all the sounds of fish communication. The result could lead to better monitoring of ecosystems and fish behavior.

While most of the world's coral reefs are damaged or threatened, efforts to restore them can revitalize important ecosystem functions quickly

Transplanting new coral onto degraded seabed can provide similar marine habitat to healthy reefs within just a few years, according to new research

Balancing out carbon emissions by planting trees is a good idea, though much can go awry amid the many forestation projects out there.

A Cambridge Conservation Research Institute professor, alongside an international team of scientists, found widespread transparency failures in corporate restoration projects

Firms including Apple and BP report funding ecosystem restoration initiatives - but fail to report acreage or success rates publicly. But Johnson & Johnson fared worse
