随着基因工程成为保护和恢复生物多样性的工具包的一部分，需要广泛的社会科学框架来了解不同群体对这些新兴技术的看法。互惠恢复就是这样一种框架，它为基因工程在保护和恢复方面的新应用提供了土著特有的观点。美国栗树的恢复计划包括可能在纽约州中部和北部的Haudenosaunee主权社区附近野生释放一棵转基因树，本文使用对等恢复作为评估使用基因工程物种的恢复项目是否能够支持这些社区更广泛的文化恢复努力的框架。结果是复杂的，但表明，如果照顾到某些基本维度，如亲属关系和精神责任，互惠恢复是可能的。互惠恢复还为今后的案例提供了洞察，在这些案例中，土著关于利用基因工程进行保护和恢复的观点是更广泛的治理考虑的重要方面。
As genetic engineering becomes a part of the toolkit for the conservation and restoration of biodiversity, a broad range of social science frameworks are required to understand how different groups of people perceive these emerging technologies. Reciprocal restoration is one such framework that offers Indigenous-specific perspective on new applications of genetic engineering for conservation and restoration. The restoration plan for the American chestnut tree includes the potential wild release of a genetically engineered tree in close proximity to the sovereign Haudenosaunee communities of Central and Upstate New York, This paper uses reciprocal restoration as a framework for evaluating if a restoration project that uses a genetically engineered species could support broader cultural restoration efforts in these communities. Results are complex, but suggest that reciprocal restoration may be possible if certain foundational dimensions such as kincentric relationships and spiritual responsibilities are attended to. Reciprocal restoration also offers insight for future cases where Indigenous perspectives on the use of genetic engineering for conservation and restoration are important dimensions of broader governance considerations.
