We further the protection and restoration of the ecosystems and the goods and services they provide.
We acknowledge that ecosystems are essential to our well-being and prosperity as they provide us with food, clean air and fresh water and the exceptional recreational opportunities commonly known as ecosystem services. As a result, we promote policies and programmes that help increase the services and benefits provided by ecosystems and advance calls for the inclusion of the ecosystem services approach into policy measures affecting the use or state of natural resources.
