Erosion Prevention: Preserved land helps prevent soil erosion, protecting valuable topsoil and reducing sedimentation in waterways.

Nutrient Cycling: Healthy ecosystems support nutrient cycling, ensuring soil fertility and plant growth.

Carbon Sequestration: Forests and other vegetation absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change.

Temperature Regulation: 

Forests and green spaces can help regulate local temperatures, reducing the urban heat island effect.

Water Filtration: Forests and wetlands act as natural filters, purifying water by removing pollutants and sediments.

Flood Control: Preserved lands can absorb rainfall, reducing the risk of floods and erosion.

Groundwater Recharge: Intact ecosystems help recharge groundwater supplies, ensuring a reliable water source.

Pollution Reduction: Forests and other vegetation absorb air pollutants, improving air quality.

Oxygen Production: Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis, essential for human and animal life.
