encouraged them to forgo exploitation of their natural resources to provide ecosystem services for the city of Colima (see _Nature_ 591, 178; 2021). But focusing solely on the monetary value

of ecosystems isn’t enough. ACCESS OPTIONS Access Nature and 54 other Nature Portfolio journals Get Nature+, our best-value online-access subscription $32.99 / 30 days cancel any time
