Modeling Ecosytem Services

09 Dec 2012 - 11 Dec 2012 Kathmandu, Nepal

SANDEE is organizing a three day training on valuing ecosystem services(InVest) in Godavari, Nepal.

The Natural Capital (NC) Project has a vision of sensitizing stake-holders of the values of natural capital in supporting human well-being. It is advancing three strategies to achieve this vision: creating innovative, practical tools; testing and implementing these in major policy decisions, in sites and sectors globally; and engaging leaders to magnify the impact of models of success.

The NC project has developed a family of tools called InVEST to map and value the goods and services from nature which are essential for sustaining and fulfilling human life. InVEST enables decision-makers to assess the tradeoffs associated with alternative choices and to identify areas where investment in natural capital can enhance human development and conservation in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems."
