What are ecosystem services?
They are the benefits people obtain from ecosystems > Supporting – the foundation for all ecosystem services such
as the nutrient cycle or primary production> Provisioning – services that provide people with products
such as food and water> Regulating (structural) – environmental benefits such as
waste treatment or flood protection> Cultural – recreational benefits or the aesthetic value of
nature

The RP compensates for any interim loss in ecosystem service provision
> Compensation can take the form of ecological restoration
> The RP compensates public agencies for Assessment Costs
