socio-ecological resilience

Socio-ecological resilience refers to the ability of communities and ecosystems to absorb shocks—like natural disasters or economic changes—while maintaining their essential functions and adapting to new conditions. It emphasizes a dynamic balance between human society and the natural environment, highlighting how healthy ecosystems support social well-being and vice versa. Building resilience involves fostering diversity, strong relationships, and flexible systems that can respond effectively to challenges, ensuring both ecological sustainability and community stability over time.
