Integrated Ecosystem Assessment

Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) is a comprehensive approach to understanding how different parts of an ecosystem—like plants, animals, water, and climate—interact and affect each other. It combines scientific data from multiple sources to evaluate the overall health, resilience, and sustainability of ecosystems. The goal is to provide decision-makers with clear, actionable insights to protect and manage natural resources effectively, ensuring ecosystems can continue to support both biodiversity and human needs now and into the future.
