This article discusses how important it is to understand ecosystems and the services they provide to us. The researchers created a way called Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) to examine ecosystems comprehensively for better management decisions. IEA looks at the products and services of ecosystems, checks their health, predicts future changes, and considers their economic and social impacts. Ecosystem services, like clean water and air, are crucial even if their value isn't always recognized financially. The article highlights methods to estimate the value of these services, showing that IEA focuses on weighing the pros and cons of different ecosystem aspects to aid in decision-making. The concept of ecosystem health is also introduced, comparing it to human health and proposing various indicators to assess it.
