If properly managed, + ecosystems yield a flow of services that are vital to + humanity, including the production of goods (e.g., food), + life-support processes (e.g., water purification), and + life-fulfilling conditions (e.g., beauty, opportunities + for recreation), and the conservation of options (e.g., + genetic diversity for future use). Despite its + importance, this natural capital is poorly understood, + scarcely monitored, and, in many cases, undergoing rapid + degradation and depletion. + + + Governments, non-profits, international lending + institutions, and corporations all manage natural + resources for multiple uses and inevitably must evaluate + tradeoffs among them. The multi-service, modular design of + InVEST provides an effective tool for balancing the + environmental and economic goals of these diverse + entities. + + + InVEST enables decision makers to assess quantified + tradeoffs associated with alternative management choices + and to identify areas where investment in natural capital + can enhance human development and conservation. The + toolset includes distinct ecosystem service models + designed for terrestrial, freshwater, marine, and coastal + ecosystems, as well as a number of “helper tools” to + assist with locating and processing input data and with + understanding and visualizing outputs. +license: Apache-2.0
