This grant aims to develop a preliminary framework for conducting ecosystem service valuations for Wild and Scenic Rivers (WSRs), assessing the benefits these rivers provide to society. By quantitatively and qualitatively evaluating ecosystem services at local, regional, and national scales, this study seeks to equip decision-makers with the tools to justify conservation efforts and effectively manage river resources.

| Description: | Many land management agencies and conservation advocates have expressed a desire to better understand and articulate the advantages protected rivers offer to society. One method for achieving this is through ecosystem service valuation (ESV). This valuation process places values on the goods and services that rivers provide to society so that decision-makers can justify conservation and be better equipped to assess how river resources should be managed. To undertake such a valuation process, this study seeks to develop a preliminary framework for conducting ESVs for Wild and Scenic Rivers (WSRs) to both quantitatively and qualitatively assess the ecosystem services these rivers deliver at the local, regional, and national scale. |
