Restorationist
A restorationist is someone who actively works to return something—such as a historical building, ecosystem, or cultural artifact—to its original state through careful repair and preservation. In today's world, they often blend artistry with science, tackling challenges like climate change impacts on heritage sites or digital restoration of old films, making them key players in safeguarding our shared past for future generations.

One of the most astonishing restorationist successes is the revival of the Przewalski's horse in Mongolia, where dedicated efforts since the 1990s have increased the population from just 12 captive individuals to over 2,000 in the wild, effectively bringing a species back from the brink of extinction. This project highlights how restorationists can rewrite wildlife histories, turning near-losses into thriving comebacks through innovative breeding and reintroduction techniques.
