Mission & Philosophy

At Ecosystem Services we believe that the environment and human well-being are inextricably connected. The term “ecosystem services” emerged in the early 1980s and came to represent the benefits that people attain from ecosystems.

When we started our business we wanted to forward this idea:  that proper natural resource management and intervention can strengthen or restore the benefits that communities enjoy from their ecosystems. And not only is it the right thing to do, but it’s also the most cost effective solution in the long term.

For more explanation of our company’s mission, vision & core values, please explore the Ecosystem Services Framework.  As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, 100% of the electricity usage in our offices is offset by clean wind energy.  To find out more about clean power and how to contribute, click here.
