Desert recovery refers to the process of restoring and rehabilitating desert ecosystems that have been degraded by human activity, climate change, or natural disasters. This work often involves replanting native vegetation, controlling invasive species, managing water resources, and monitoring wildlife populations to promote ecological balance.
