Biosphere Integrity
Biosphere Integrity refers to the overall health and functioning of Earth's ecosystems and the variety of life they support. It encompasses the richness of species, their interactions, and the balance of ecosystems. When biosphere integrity is high, ecosystems thrive and provide essential services like clean air, water, and food. However, when it is compromised due to factors like pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change, biodiversity declines, and ecosystems become less resilient. Maintaining biosphere integrity is crucial for supporting life on Earth and ensuring that natural systems can adapt to changes.
