environmental integration

Environmental integration is the process of designing and managing activities so that they harmonize with the natural environment, minimizing negative impacts and enhancing sustainability. It involves planning developments, infrastructure, or operations in ways that respect ecological systems, conserve resources, and promote biodiversity. This approach seeks to balance human needs with environmental health, ensuring that natural landscapes, water, air, and ecosystems are maintained or improved while supporting economic and social activities. Essentially, it’s about working with nature rather than against it to create sustainable, resilient communities.
