Valuing Ecosystem Services: A Data-Driven Approach
This chapter focuses on integrating environmental data into a standardized framework to assess ecological changes and quantify ecosystem services. It highlights the economic value of nature's contributions, particularly from ecosystems like rivers, and discusses the challenges of establishing a national baseline for these services in Australia. The initiative aims to create national accounts for ecosystem services while addressing data gaps and emphasizing the need for ongoing improvements in methodology.
