Executive Summary
Biodiversity preservation is essential for maintaining ecosystem health, supporting human livelihoods, and ensuring sustainable development. This proposal outlines an integrated ecosystem management (IEM) approach to biodiversity preservation, focusing on harmonizing conservation efforts with socio-economic development. By fostering collaboration among stakeholders and leveraging both local knowledge and scientific expertise, we aim to develop and implement effective strategies for preserving biodiversity and enhancing ecosystem resilience.
Background
Biodiversity is the variety of life forms on Earth, encompassing different plants, animals, and microorganisms, as well as the ecosystems they form. It provides critical ecosystem services, including pollination, nutrient cycling, and climate regulation, which are vital for human survival and well-being. However, biodiversity is under threat due to habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation of natural resources. Integrated ecosystem management (IEM) is a holistic approach that addresses these threats by considering the interconnectedness of ecosystem components and promoting sustainable use of natural resources.
