Abstract
As the concepts of ecosystem services and payments for ecosystem services (PES) have evolved, numerous web-based resources have been created to 1) provide and exchange information about ecosystem services, and 2) facilitate transactions between those who provide ecosystem services and those who wish to compensate those providers, also commonly referred to as “buyers and sellers” of ecosystem services.
Online resources fall into four broad categories: matchmakers, evaluators, libraries, and networks. This fact sheet highlights useful examples in each category, excerpted from the accompanying catalog of resources that was created between 2011 and 2013. While examples are classified in the category they fit best, many provide resources relevant to each category. For many more online resources, see the full catalog on the project website.
