Guidance for the Rapid Assessment of Cultural Ecosystem Services (GRACE): Version 1. A report by Fauna & Flora International

Abstract

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) and the benefits they provide have long been overlooked in decision making despite their fundamental contributions to human wellbeing. While they are complex and can be difficult to describe and to measure, it is widely acknowledged that CES are as important as other types of ecosystem services (ES), and need to be better incorporated in decision making.1
