[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","\"Ecological engineering covers numerous disciplines for the design of sustainable ecosystems that integrate human society with its natural environment for the benefit of both. Over the past 3 decades, dominated by climate change and weather disasters, its goals have been widened. These include the restoration of ecosystems that have been substantially disturbed by human activities for e.g. mining and exploration of natural resources. There is a demand to reinforce nature's ecosystem services for the contemporary world. There are now several universities developing academic programs or departments called ecological engineering, ecological restoration etc. Case studies, demonstrations and applications pertaining to restoration, rehabilitation, conservation, sustainability, reconstruction, remediation and reclamation of ecosystems using ecological engineering techniques have been gaining considerable significance\"--"]
