Name the contribution and its beneficiaries

Ecosystem services are contributions from ecosystems to human well-being, such as water regulation, pollination, and opportunities for recreation. Different people may value or benefit from them differently. Identifying a service does not mean that every ecological value is captured by a price. State the ecological process, the people affected, and the limits of the measure being used.
