Ecological Infrastructure
Ecological infrastructure refers to the natural systems and processes that provide essential services to humans and the environment. This includes forests, wetlands, rivers, and grasslands, which help regulate water quality, support biodiversity, and mitigate climate change. By maintaining these ecosystems, we can enhance resilience against natural disasters and improve overall environmental health.
Investing in ecological infrastructure can lead to sustainable development by integrating nature into urban planning and land management. This approach not only preserves biodiversity but also offers economic benefits, such as tourism and recreation opportunities, while reducing costs associated with traditional infrastructure solutions.
