Economics Ecosystem Services Questions
The role of markets in ecosystem service conservation is to provide economic incentives for individuals and businesses to protect and preserve these services. By creating a market for ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration or water purification, individuals and businesses can be financially rewarded for their efforts in conserving and enhancing these services. This can encourage sustainable practices and conservation efforts, as individuals and businesses have a financial incentive to protect and restore ecosystems that provide valuable services. Additionally, markets can help allocate resources efficiently by determining the value of different ecosystem services and guiding investment and decision-making towards their conservation.
