Access all ecosystem services valuation reports by clicking the ‘Download’ button.

These ecosystem services valuation reports were developed within the scope of the UNDP-STEPping up Nature Reserves Capacity (STEP4Nature) Project, implemented in coordination with the Ministry of Environment in Lebanon and with financial support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Italian Republic, through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS).

These reports assess and, where possible, quantify the ecological, social and economic benefits generated by Lebanon’s protected areas, covering provisioning, regulating, cultural and supporting ecosystem services. By translating the value of nature into decision-relevant evidence, they help strengthen conservation planning, guide investment priorities, inform management and business planning, and support the development of sustainable financing mechanisms for the long-term protection of Lebanon’s natural capital.
