Valuation of Ecosystem Services

Valuation of Ecosystem Services refers to the process of assessing the economic worth of natural services provided by ecosystems, such as clean air, water filtration, pollination of crops, and climate regulation. By recognizing these services, we can better understand their importance and make informed decisions about conservation and sustainable resource management. This valuation helps integrate environmental health into policy-making, guiding investment in conservation efforts and ensuring that nature's benefits are considered alongside economic growth. Ultimately, it highlights the essential role ecosystems play in supporting life and human well-being.
