Restoration ecology has grown in political prominence in the past decades with the United Nations General Assembly's declaration of 2021–2030 the “UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration” representing a highly visible vindication for the discipline. That said, questions of environmental justice, economic practicality, and ethics need to be considered when climate change and environmental degradation are factored into restoration projects. This article builds on previous calls for a paradigm of ecological restoration which looks toward the future, and not the past. Future‐oriented restoration projects should: (1) examine how restored ecosystems will affect local and disadvantaged communities; (2) assess whether the restoration goals will improve human health and safety; (3) evaluate how financially feasible the goals are from a systems perspective; and (4) strive for transparency of the values that inform such projects. The concept of sustainability and how it applies to restoration ecology will also be discussed.

未来主义的修复：时间特有的矛盾形式

在过去的几十年中，随着联合国大会宣布2021年至2030年“联合国生态系统恢复十年”的宣言，恢复生态学在政治上的重要性日益增强，这代表了该学科的一个明显可见的证明。就是说，在将气候变化和环境退化纳入恢复项目时，必须考虑环境正义，经济实用性和道德问题。本文基于先前对生态恢复范式的呼吁，该范式面向未来而不是过去。面向未来的恢复项目应：（1）研究恢复的生态系统将如何影响当地和处境不利的社区；（2）评估恢复目标是否会改善人类健康和安全；（3）从系统角度评估目标在财务上是否可行；（4）努力使这些项目的价值透明化。还将讨论可持续性的概念及其在恢复生态学中的应用。
