 Principle 3: Ecosystem managers should consider
the effects (actual or potential) of their activities on

unknown or unpredictable effects on other ecosystems;
therefore, possible impacts need careful consideration
and analysis. This may require new arrangements or
ways of organization for institutions involved in
decision-making to make, if necessary, appropriate
compromises.
