Ecuador study finds that, in former agricultural land, tropical rainforest biodiversity rebounds over 90% in 30 years.

🦜 🪱
During this period, as many as three-quarters of the animal and plant species typical of primary forest returned.

Conservation Lesson Learned:
Protect undisturbed primary forest and larger areas of secondary forest to act as reservoirs.

Then protect former agricultural land to enable natural regeneration sourced from those reservoirs.
