The valuation of forest ecosystem services in emerging economies

The Valuation of Forest Ecosystem Services in Emerging Economies examines the economic and social benefits that forests provide—such as carbon sequestration, water regulation, and biodiversity conservation—and how recognizing their value can influence policy and sustainable development. In emerging economies, accurately valuing these services helps balance economic growth with environmental protection, supports community livelihoods, and guides investment in conservation efforts that ensure long-term forest health and resilience.
