Ecosystem Assets
Ecosystem assets are natural resources and environmental features that provide valuable services and benefits, supporting life and human well-being. These include forests, rivers, soil, wetlands, and biodiversity, which supply clean water, air purification, climate regulation, and resources like timber and food. Recognizing ecosystem assets highlights their importance beyond their physical presence, emphasizing their role in sustaining economies, health, and ecosystems. Managing and valuing these assets ensure their preservation, responsible use, and integration into economic planning, helping to maintain the balance between development and environmental health.
