Abstract

Ecological studies have revealed that nature has an in-built system to restore itself, thereby sustaining its continuity. In other words, natural ecosystems can act as “Living Machines” in keeping the ecosystems habitable. The biological communities – microbes, plants, and animals – serve as the driving force of several living technological innovations – constructed wetlands, Lake Restores, Eco-Restorers, and Reedbeds. These ecologically based technologies are suitable for environment restoration or mitigation, food production through waste conversions, as well as architecture and landscape design.
