Damage to biodiversity and natural capital Direct damages are measured at the commercial value of the forest or timber Alternatively they can be estimated as the present value of environmental services that will not be obtained during a relatively long period Indirect damages, when damage is partial, is estimated as the current value of environmental services that will not be obtained during the recuperation process There are no indirect damages when natural resources are totally destroyed or lost

Damage to biodiversity and natural capital Damage toDiredct damages Indirect damages Natural FaunaValue of species lost or endangered Animal raisingValue of dead cattle or animal stock Reduction in animal farming and associated production (milk, meat, eggs, etc.) Marine resources Reduction in fishing

Damage to biodiversity and natural capital Direct damage is estimated through the commercial value of animal stock lost Indirect damage is calculated as lost income from recreational activities (hunting, sport fishing, hiking, ecotourism etc.) linked to the loss of animal stock and biodiversity

El Niño effects in the Andean countries Venezuela: Drought damage Colombia: Bolivia: Drought and Flooding Peru: Flooding and sea changes Ecuador: Flooding and changes in ocean waters

Damage to biodiversity and animal farming Direct damage is estimated on the basis of commercial value of cattle or its products Indirect damage reflects diminished production of milk, meat, etc., over the recuperation period

Damage to biodiversity and natural marine resources Direct damage may be assessed, in the case of corals and marine life through the income loss from recreational activities that will not be obtained in a long period Indirect damage is estimated as the variation in fishing for a certain period (ENOS, for example)
