Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : ecological integrity of national parks. : En4-144/21-2021E-PDF
"According to the Canada National Parks Act, "ecological integrity" is with respect to a park, a condition that is determined to be characteristic of its natural region and likely to persist, including abiotic components and the composition and abundance of native species and biological communities, rates of change and supporting processes. In other words, ecosystems have integrity when their native components, such as native species and biological communities, natural landscapes and functions, are intact and are likely to persist. The ecological integrity of national parks is assessed by monitoring representative components of major park ecosystems, such as forest, freshwater and wetlands. It is a key measure of the condition of our national parks"--Page 5.
