Ecosystem Services Evaluation
Ecosystem services evaluation involves assessing the benefits that natural environments provide to humans. These services include clean air and water, pollination of crops, climate regulation, and recreational opportunities. By understanding and quantifying these services, we can make informed decisions about land use, conservation, and resource management. This evaluation helps identify the economic value of ecosystems, guiding policies that protect these essential services for current and future generations, ensuring a healthy balance between human needs and environmental sustainability.
