Ecological Valuation
Ecological valuation is the process of assessing the economic value of ecosystems and their services, such as clean air, water, and biodiversity. It helps us understand the benefits that nature provides to humans and the economy, including recreation, climate regulation, and food production. By assigning value to these ecological services, we can make informed decisions about conservation and sustainable resource management, ensuring that both nature and society thrive together. This valuation can help prioritize actions and investments that protect our environment while recognizing its importance to our well-being and economic stability.
