ecosystems and human well-being
Ecosystems are communities of living organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, interacting with their physical environment. They provide essential services, such as clean air, water, food, and natural resources, which support human well-being. Healthy ecosystems enhance our quality of life by regulating climate, supporting biodiversity, and offering recreational opportunities. When ecosystems are damaged, it can lead to negative impacts on health, economy, and social stability. Therefore, protecting and restoring ecosystems is crucial for ensuring a sustainable future for humanity and maintaining the balance of nature that we depend on.
