What Does Sustainability Mean?
Sustainability is an environmental term that describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. It is the capacity to maintain the quality of life we live in the long term, which depends on the conservation of the natural world.
Healthy wetlands and forests are living examples of sustainable biological systems. With increasing human density, the responsible use of natural resources has become an urgent necessity to maintain the Earth's balance.
