The SES Framework

The SES (Social-Ecological Systems) Framework is a way to understand how human communities and natural environments interact and influence each other. It looks at key components like resources, governance, users, and environmental conditions, and how they are connected through various feedbacks and processes. This helps identify what sustains the system over time and where vulnerabilities or opportunities for better management exist. Essentially, it provides a structured approach to studying complex, interconnected systems, encouraging integrated strategies that promote both ecological health and human well-being.
