"Ecosystem integrity is a measure of the soundness, health and wholeness of an ecosystem. In nearly every part of the world, alarming numbers of ecosystems are under stress due to a variety of human impacts. The ecosystem integrity concept is an important response to the need to reduce human impacts on stressed ecosystems. It is a useful tool in environmental policy to help biodiversity maintenance, sustainability and resilience of ecosystems in a healthy natural balance, while at the same time allowing them to continue producing services that humanity depends on for survival."
