Abstract

A government report on Nepal's earthquakes on 25 April and 12 May, which caused around 8,600 deaths and displaced at least 2.8 million people, rightly prioritizes the reconstruction of buildings and infrastructure (see go.nature.com/pdksq6). However, it overlooks the impact of large-scale restoration work on the fragile environment and imperilled ecosystems. The importance of this was learned from the extensive rebuilding in Aceh, Indonesia, after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
