Ecosystem services are fundamental in public policy as they provide the framework for understanding the value of natural resources and the benefits they offer to human societies. Recognizing ecosystem services helps policymakers prioritize conservation efforts and allocate resources more effectively. These services—such as clean air, water regulation, and pollination—are vital for public health and economic stability. Policies that integrate ecosystem service valuation can promote sustainable land use and resource management, ultimately enhancing societal resilience and quality of life.
