What is it about?
Descriptions and estimates of the services provided by ecosystems in tropical Asia are usually greatly oversimplified and often limited to things that can be estimated from satellites. This paper provides a much richer summary of what is at stake when natural ecosystems are destroyed or degraded.

Why is it important?
I hope it will encourage a more complete and thus more accurate estimate of the benefits people obtain from nature.
