The development of the ecosystem services paradigm has enhanced our understanding of natural capital as an indispensable form of capital asset along with produced and human capital. This book highlights the latest advances in the science and practice of using ecosystem services to inform decisions in the context of the developing countries. Mainstreaming natural capital into development policy is designed to help decision makers at all levels (governments, businesses, multilevel development banks and individuals) integrate ecosystems and their services into their decision making.
