            Abstract

            The Old Fort Bayou Tract near Ocean Springs, Mississippi, is a restoration project by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) that aims to recreate a wet prairie habitat and attract Mississippi Sandhill Cranes, as well as reestablish the plant communities that weredamaged or destroyed on the site. The project involves the use of prescribed fires to maintain the restored habitat. The Hall Branch River restoration project in Florida aims to recreate a riverine headwater forest on land that was previously surface-mined for phosphatic ore. The project involves the use of fertilizers and herbicides to establish the forest, as well as the introduction of native plant species. The restoration of the Sangai deer habitat in Keibul Lamjao National Park in Manipur, India, involves the creation of artificial floating islands to provide additional habitat for the deer, as well as the control of fishing and grazing in the area. The ultimate goal of the restoration project is to increase the population of the critically endangered Sangai deer.
