Why conserve ecosystems?

Ecosystems provide the foundation that supports all life forms as they exist today. Ecological services are provided by ecological processes and functions, which in turn provide benefits that we enjoy. Examples are safe, clean drinking water, clean air, flood control, and economic resources (timber, fisheries, ecotourism, etc.). Our health, safety and quality of life depend on the health and integrity of ecosystems so they can continue to provide these services and benefits.
