      The ecological challenge requires a fundamental shift in our understanding of the human-environment relationship. This work provides a comprehensive overview of ecological integrity and presents a compelling vision for the future. It emphasizes the need for policymakers to heed its insights to enhance global happiness, health, and wellbeing, ensuring a brighter future for subsequent generations. The book serves as a theoretical framework for what is necessary in practice, offering an ecological master plan for not just survival but flourishing. Ecosystems are likened to a house—damaging one part risks the integrity of the entire structure. Protecting ecological integrity is increasingly challenging due to humanity's growing dominance. This definitive examination of the current state of the field and its future development is authored by members of the Global Ecological Integrity Group, a collective of leading experts. It explores how human rights—such as access to food, energy, health, clean air, and water—can align with ecological integrity principles. The discussion encompasses various economic, legal, ethical, and ecological perspectives, making it an essential resource for researchers, students, and professionals across multiple disciplines.
