The UN Ecosystem Approach

The UN Ecosystem Approach is a way of managing natural environments by considering all aspects—plants, animals, people, and their relationships—at once. It recognizes that healthy ecosystems provide crucial services like clean water, food, and climate regulation. This approach emphasizes sustainability, ensuring actions benefit both nature and human well-being over the long term. It involves collaboration among governments, communities, and experts to balance conservation with sustainable use, promoting resilience and diversity within ecosystems. Ultimately, it aims for integrated strategies that protect biodiversity while supporting human development.
