Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM)

Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) is an approach to managing natural resources that considers entire ecosystems—plants, animals, and their interactions—rather than focusing solely on individual species or resources. It aims to balance ecological health, economic benefits, and community needs by taking a holistic view of the environment. EBM involves working collaboratively with stakeholders, using scientific knowledge, and adapting strategies based on ongoing monitoring. This method promotes sustainable practices that protect biodiversity and ensure that ecosystems can thrive, benefiting both nature and human communities in the long run.
