Why is it important?
Results show how natural capital has been degraded during the time period considered for the study (2005-2009). Results also show the importance of considering ecosystem services in planning decisions at regional and national levels.
Perspectives
We hope that future planning instruments in Mozambique consider Natural capital explicitly in their actions.
