The Natural Capital Project Incorporating ecosystem services in decisions

NatCap’s mission The Natural Capital Project aims to integrate ecosystem services approaches into all major resource decisions that affect Earth’s natural resources. Our ultimate objective is to improve the state of biodiversity and human well-being by motivating greater and more cost-effective investments in both.

NatCap’s theory of change Develop and apply a credible ecosystem service approach to support decision makers with dual development and conservation goals; Learn what works, train users, and disseminate useful approaches and lessons; Create an informed community of leaders and practitioners who will enable large-scale policy changes

Highlights Tested and refined our ecosystem services approach in over 20 demonstrations around the world –informed land-use and marine spatial plans, –prioritized investments for watershed services, –designed oyster reef restoration for coastal services, –conducted impact and mitigation assessment for mining activities & roads, –informed corporate practices Trained over 1,000 new users in our approach & tools Created an open-source accounting tool (InVEST suite) (currently at >500 downloads/month) Supporting programs and ‘valuing nature’ strategies of NGO partners
