| Synopsis: |
The development of the ecosystem services paradigm has enhanced our understanding of natural capital as an indispensable form of capital asset along with produced and human capital. This book highlights the latest advances in the science and practice of using ecosystem services to inform decisions in the context of the developing countries. Mainstreaming natural capital into development policy is designed to help decision makers at all levels (governments, businesses, multilevel development banks and individuals) integrate ecosystems and their services into their decision making. Key issues addressed include what we currently know about the values of ecosystem services in the developing world and innovative tools to help policy makers and planners account for natural capital and ecosystem services. A number of detailed case studies are presented in which the understanding of ecosystem services values has successfully informed decisions, including examples from Chile, Morocco, South Africa, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Vietnam and the Aral Sea in Central Asia.These provide the means and mechanisms for policy makers to incentivize protection and discourage degradation of ecosystems and the services they provide. |
