Ecosystem Service Programs

Ecosystem Service Programs are initiatives that recognize and promote the benefits nature offers to humans, such as clean air, water, pollination, and flood protection. These programs often involve managing natural resources and landscapes to enhance these services while supporting biodiversity. They aim to compensate landowners or communities for practices that protect or restore ecosystems, ensuring both environmental health and economic viability. By valuing and investing in nature, these programs help sustain the resources we depend on for our well-being and quality of life.
