Ecological Integrity Assessment

Ecological Integrity Assessment is the process of evaluating how well a natural environment functions and remains healthy. It considers the health of ecosystems, including the diversity of plants and animals, water quality, and habitat conditions. The goal is to determine whether an ecosystem is balanced and resilient or if it has been damaged by human activity or other threats. This assessment helps guide conservation efforts, ensuring ecosystems can support life now and in the future. It provides a scientific basis for managing and protecting natural areas to maintain their natural functions and biodiversity.
