  1. However, there are some critics for the novel ecosystems.
  2. Firstly,
  3. there's a question that are novel ecosystems rally
  4. ubiquitous or new normal as we mentioned above.
  5. Many people believe that with the global change is less feasible
  6. for us to written a degraded ecosystem to historical status.
  7. But actually a large number of studies helped fund
  8. many ecosystems around the world are well preserved,
  9. well managed or not severely degraded with greater prospects for restoration
  10. Amid analyzes of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem.
  11. Restoration projects show that 89 sites have recovered an
  12. average of 80-86% of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
  13. In terms of violent restoration projects,
  14. It was found that 621 sites have restored an average of 75%.
  15. In general.
  16. There are more and more study indicating restoration cannot only be realistic,
  17. but also can bring multiple benefits.
  18. Also, some scientists do not support the claim,
  19. arguing that they are based on less empirical science.
  20. They think humans have limited ability to predict
  21. the impacts of global changes on specific ecosystems,
  22. and we cannot habitually take an assumption that
  23. we cannot go back to the historical state
  24. as an absolute fact.
  25. Besides another argument is that
  26. adopting novel ecosystems can pose a
  27. great threat to ecological conservation actions.
  28. Firstly,
  29. this concept could lead to lower standards for restoration
  30. projects and make them have less clear scientific guidance.
  31. For instance,
  32. people may be less vary of non native species and even retain
  33. some of them as they can provide certain functions in restoration areas,
  34. but actually the rotation of these species
  35. will increase the risk of biological invasions.
  36. Also,
  37. there are some ecologists believing that normal ecosystem can provide a get out
  38. of jail free card for actors who would exploit and degrade their environment.
  39. More specifically,
  40. some companies or individuals may try to
  41. avoid investing in conservation or restoration by
  42. claiming that they are producing no eggs
  43. systems that can provide valuable ecosystem services.
