Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan included building reservoirs and stormwater treatment areas, redirecting water flow, and removing invasive species. Results saw improved water quality and increased populations of native species like the American alligator and the Florida panther.

The reintroduction of gray wolves in 1995, after being exterminated in the 1920s, helped control elk populations which led to the recovery of plant communities and riparian ecosystems.

Actions included terracing, tree planting, and sustainable agricultural practices. Results were decreased soil erosion, improved soil fertility, and increased incomes for local farmers.

Efforts to reduce pollution included upgrading wastewater treatment plants, reducing agricultural runoff, and restoring oyster habitats. These actions led to clearer waters and the return of seagrasses and aquatic life.

Projects like the construction of Kokaral Dam to raise water levels in the Northern Aral Sea led to increased fish stocks and improved local climate conditions.

Eradication of invasive species, particularly goats on Pinta and Santiago islands, to restore native flora and fauna. This led to the natural regeneration of ecosystems and return of endemic species like the Galápagos giant tortoise.

Managed realignment and breaches in sea defenses allowed tidal flooding to restore natural saltmarsh habitat. This increased biodiversity and provided natural coastal defense.

Locally led effort in conserving and managing the black howler monkey habitat. Outcomes included a rise in monkey populations and an ecotourism boost for the local economy.

Conversion of an old elevated rail line into a green urban park that has revitalized native plant species in the area and provided a new habitat for urban wildlife.
