The document discusses evaluating the ecosystem services provided by the Kailadevi Wildlife Sanctuary in India. It notes that ecosystems provide numerous benefits to people called ecosystem goods and services. The study assesses 21 different ecosystem services provided by the Kailadevi Wildlife Sanctuary, including pollination, water purification, and tourism. It identifies the status of exploitation of these services, potential issues, and ways to improve and enhance certain services. The study presents a case for conserving the Kailadevi Wildlife Sanctuary based on the economic value of the ecosystem services it provides.

Our Study 

19. We assess 21 different ecosystem services

21. Identified status of exploitation and ways to improve ES in KWLS
Identified stress points and potential issues –
Documented ways to enhancing some ES
We are sure that our paper has presented a strong case in favor of the
conservation of KWLS forest in economic terms.
A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of
our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.”
Significance of the study
