What are ecosystem services and benefits?

Ecosystem services are what nature produces without the help of humans, yet that humans benefit from, and often completely for free too! The concept includes items such as food and water, and services such as pollination and climate regulation, but it is also about human well-being. How we feel depends on ecosystem organisms, processes and functions. Source
