Ecosystem Functions and Services

Ecosystem functions are the natural processes that sustain life, such as water filtration, nutrient cycling, pollination, and climate regulation. Ecosystem services are the benefits humans gain from these processes, like clean air and water, fertile soil for crops, and natural resources. Together, they support biodiversity, health, and well-being. Protecting these functions ensures the resilience and sustainability of our environment, helping us meet our needs now and in the future.
