National Ecosystem Assessment

The National Ecosystem Assessment (NEA) is a comprehensive study that evaluates the state of natural environments and ecosystems within a country. It examines how these ecosystems provide essential services—such as clean water, air, food, and climate regulation—and how human activities impact them. The goal is to inform policymakers, communities, and stakeholders about the health and sustainability of ecosystems, promoting decisions that balance development with environmental conservation. Essentially, NEA helps us understand the value and condition of nature around us, ensuring we can protect and sustainably manage these vital natural resources for current and future generations.
