Ecosystem Services

Ecosystem services are the various benefits that humans derive from ecosystems. The interconnected living and non-living components of the natural environment offer benefits such as pollination of crops, clean air and water, decomposition of wastes, and flood control. Ecosystem services are vital for human well-being.

They provide direct and indirect benefits from nature, such as clean water, food, and climate regulation.
