Ecosystem Services Valuation

Ecosystem Services Valuation is the process of assessing the economic benefits that nature provides to humans. These benefits include clean air and water, pollination of crops, climate regulation, and recreational opportunities. By assigning a monetary value to these services, we can better understand their importance and make informed decisions about conserving natural resources. This valuation helps policymakers balance economic development with environmental protection, ensuring that ecosystems continue to support both our well-being and the health of the planet.
