Abstract
If we are to be stewards of the ecological systems that make up our biosphere, then we must have some state, in which we wish these systems to be. The term ‘integrity’ has become the name we use for this state. Environmental managers find themselves mandated by various policy statements and legislation (the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement 1978, the Canada Park Service Act 1988, the draft Montana Environmental Protection Act 1992, Environment Canada’s mission statement 1992) to preserve/maintain/promote/protect/restore ecological integrity. The challenge now is to define “integrity.”
