“…Leaving dead plants at restoration sites can enhance nesting site availability for cavity-nesting bees. Studies have shown that areas with simplified vegetative structures have a negative impact on cavity-nesting rates (Flores et al, 2018;de Araújo et al, 2019de Araújo et al, , 2021.…”

Habitat loss is a primary driver of global biodiversity decline, negatively impacting many species. Nevertheless, one approach to counteract the consequences of habitat loss is ecological restoration. Ecological restoration includes the transformation of degraded or damaged habitats to benefit threatened species, including native bees. In this review, we survey the ecological, biological, and conservation literature with the aim of consolidating current research for practical use in bee habitat restoration efforts. We delineate essential steps and applicable tools throughout the various stages of habitat restoration projects, categorizing them into pre-, during-, and postrestoration stages. We emphasize the importance of planning species and site-specific strategies to support bees, including providing floral and non-floral resources and increasing nest site availability. Lastly, we underscore the significance of conducting evaluations and long-term monitoring following restoration efforts. Through the identification of effective restoration methods, success indicators, and areas for future research, our study presents a comprehensive framework that can guide restoration managers, policymakers, and funding agencies during this urgent time for bee conservation.

“…The restoration time from newly planted land to mature forests in the study area was approximately 20 years. Reforestation takes a long time before it is functionally similar to natural forest land [20], and the restoration of biodiversity levels may take even longer [21].…”

The Grain for Green Project (GGP) aims to protect and improve the ecological environment, end farming on sloping farmland, and plant trees and restore forest vegetation. China’s GGP has been widely implemented, but its impact on the environment is rarely evaluated from farmers’ perspectives. This study took place in Zhidan and Yanchang Counties, Shaanxi Province. Farmers’ attitudes towards the GGP were investigated through semi-structured interviews to understand their perceptions of changes in ecosystem services and their level of ecological awareness, as well as analyzing which factors had the greatest impact on them. Our results indicate that some farmers are not satisfied with the GGP and are unwilling to participate in future GGPs, which is not only due to the dissatisfaction with subsidies offered but also because the needs of the farmers have been ignored. From the perspective of farmers, the GGP has greatly reduced soil erosion and air pollution but has had no effect on improving water quality and protecting biodiversity. More male farmers are willing to participate, and farmers with higher levels of education are more satisfied with the GGP. We also found that the level of understanding of ecological cognition affected farmers’ attitudes, and farmers with different levels of knowledge differ in their willingness to participate. Our research found that many farmers were dissatisfied with the GGP. To improve this situation, it is necessary to improve the ecological awareness of farmers. At the same time, policy makers should also further understand the needs of farmers in order to make reasonable management strategies.
