The mission of Egoh’s Lab is to understand the relationship between people and nature with the aim of promoting a sustainable existence between the two. Our core business is to understand how nature delivers services to humans and how to limit human’s negative impacts on nature. In addition, we aim to quantify these impacts (+&-) in both biophysical and monetary terms to understand costs and benefits. Some examples of our research include mapping and modeling ecosystem services, understanding relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem services, prioritizing areas for conservation actions, understanding benefits from restoration, and understanding the impacts of land degradation on biodiversity and ecosystem services.
