ecological infrastructure

Ecological infrastructure refers to natural systems and features—like forests, wetlands, rivers, and green spaces—that provide essential services to support human life and the environment. These systems help clean air and water, control flooding, regulate climate, and support biodiversity. Think of them as nature’s infrastructure, working quietly in the background to sustain us. Protecting and restoring ecological infrastructure enhances resilience, promotes health, and reduces reliance on man-made engineering solutions, ensuring a balanced and sustainable relationship between people and the natural world.
