The Ecosystem Approach

The Ecosystem Approach is a strategy for managing natural resources that considers entire ecosystems, rather than focusing on individual species or components. It recognizes the complex interactions between plants, animals, humans, and their environment. This approach aims to maintain healthy ecosystems to support biodiversity, provide essential services (like clean water and air), and sustain livelihoods. By understanding and preserving these connections, we can make better decisions that benefit both nature and society, ensuring that resources are used sustainably for future generations.
