Urban ecological restoration typically employs western science approaches to restore degraded ecosystems. As yet, few restoration groups acknowledge the history of these degraded urban sites, despite connections, past and present, that root Indigenous Peoples (and others) in these lands. Here, we promote partnership with Indigenous communities from project inception and present two successful case studies from Aotearoa New Zealand. We specifically note that partnering and building relationships with Indigenous communities in restoration efforts require recognition of power inequalities and injustices. We consider success to include both restoration of ecological function and biodiversity and reconnection of all communities to urban ecosystems.

促进社会和环境正义，以支持城市生态系统恢复中的土著伙伴关系

城市生态恢复通常采用西方科学方法来恢复退化的生态系统。迄今为止，很少有恢复团体承认这些退化的城市遗址的历史，尽管过去和现在有联系，但这些土地植根于这些土地上。在这里，我们从项目开始就促进与土著社区的伙伴关系，并介绍新西兰Aotearoa的两个成功案例。我们特别指出，在恢复工作中与土著社区建立伙伴关系并建立关系需要承认权力不平等和不公正现象。我们认为成功既包括恢复生态功能和生物多样性，也包括所有社区与城市生态系统的重新连接。
