The advance of scientific knowledge in various areas of molecular ecology has allowed the adoption of newstrategies, particularly in forest restoration. The fusion of multidisciplinary areas and the implementation ofmanagement methodologies in order to get better results in forest restoration are current realities. In order toreview the main ideas about the role of molecular techniques in the service of ecology restoration, this paperoutlines how forest recovery can benefit from genetic and genomic plant population studies. The next challenges inconservation genetics can be brought by the quest for more efficient forest restorations from the point of view ofbiodiversity as well as the ecological dynamics as a whole. It is believed that in the coming years we will observeintegrated strategies in molecular ecology with specific methodologies for restoration in tropical forests.
