Ecosystem services indicators try to capture information on the flow of benefits that humans receive from biodiversity. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005) categorises the benefits of ecosystem services as “provisioning services such as food, water, timber, and fiber, regulating services that affect climate, floods, disease, wastes, and water quality, cultural services that provide recreational, aesthetic, and spiritual benefits, and supporting services such as soil formation, photosynthesis, and nutrient cycling.” Difficulty in measuring many ecosystem services has proved to be an obstacle to their inclusion in biodiversity offset indicators (WRI, 2014). Indicators of ecosystem services are mostly used to provide compensation to local stakeholders affected by biodiversity loss at a development site, particularly in developing countries.
