Like the earlier assessment, we develop a meta-analytic predictive model using regression and machine learning techniques to spatially estimate the value of the following three ecosystem services: (1) recreation, hunting, and fishing; (2) non-wood forest products; and (3) watershed protection (hereafter, “water services”). These values are produced using 0.1º by0.1º (approximately 10km by 10km) spatial resolution and then combined and spatially aggregated to estimate country-wealth from non-wood forest products. In addition, we develop an operational method to estimate the contribution of protected areas to the value of non-wood forest productions.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENTFOREST ECOSYSTEMLIFE ON LANDSDG 15ReportWorld Bank10.1596/42324
