    "title": "Making Nature Whole: Fifty Years of Ecosystem Restoration at the University of Wisconsin Arboretum",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This article chronicles the pioneering efforts in ecosystem restoration at the University of Wisconsin Arboretum, initiated in the 1930s under the influence of Aldo Leopold. William Jordan III explores how the Arboretum project marked the first systematic attempt to reconstruct damaged landscapes into functioning ecological communities, aiming to replicate presettlement Wisconsin ecosystems. The restoration process, driven by experimentation and necessity, not only reestablished plant and animal communities but also gave rise to new ecological insights and methodologies. Jordan highlights how restoration evolved from a practical effort into a powerful tool for basic ecological research, drawing parallels with medicine in its diagnostic and integrative approaches. Emphasizing restoration's interdisciplinary roots and ethical dimensions, the article calls for deeper recognition of its significance and potential within environmental management and conservation science. The Arboretum stands as a model for future ecological restoration and a testament to Leopold's enduring legacy in environmental thought.",
