Description: Ecosystem management is a holistic approach to sustainably managing ecosystems, integrating environmental, social, and economic aspects. This approach seeks to balance biodiversity conservation with human development, recognizing that ecosystems are complex systems where interactions between organisms and their environment are fundamental to community well-being. Ecosystem management involves planning and executing strategies that promote environmental health, resilience of natural resources, and long-term sustainability. It is based on the understanding that ecosystems not only provide essential services, such as air and water purification, crop pollination, and climate regulation, but are also vital for the economy and culture of societies. This approach requires collaboration among different sectors, including governments, local communities, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector, to ensure that decisions about resource use are inclusive and equitable. Ecosystem management relies on science and research to assess the state of ecosystems and develop practices that minimize human impact, thereby promoting sustainable development that benefits both people and the planet.
