InVEST: Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs
What tools has NatCap developed?
Objective: Enable users to quantify, map & value the ecosystem service impacts of alternative land use decisions
![Page 8: InVEST Nirmal Bhagabati Emily McKenzie. Outline What is InVEST? – History of development – Scope, objectives, users – Conceptual approach and applications](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e595503460f94b5255a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
InVEST: Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs
What tools has NatCap developed?
Users: All those affecting or affected by decisions on land-use & management
• business sector• government• NGOs• multilateral development banks• academics

InVEST• Uses production functions
• ES modeled as function of land cover & other variables
• Usable with relatively limited data
• Ready to use out-of-the box, but customizable
