Nature is a cornerstone of America’s prosperity, safety, and resilience, but we need data to show its impact and value to ensure nature is considered more fully in decision-making.
Over the past 15 months, a Science for Nature and People Partnership working group of more than 40 researchers has been developing an estimate of the value of a suite of ecosystem services within the coterminous United States, ranging from pollination to water quality regulation, flood mitigation, air quality regulation, water provisioning, nature-based recreation, and urban cooling. The project developed high-resolution maps and valuation datasets for each of the ecosystem services examined, as well as economic valuations and beneficiary estimates.
