- Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify and make an initial accounting of the ecosystem services of the hydroelectric power generation plant, UHE Carlos Botelho (Itirapina Municipality, Sao Paulo State, Brazil), and its most extensive wetlands - total of 2,640 ha - and also identify the drivers of change of these services. Twenty (20) ecosystem services were identified and the estimated quantitative total value obtained was USD 120,445,657.87. year-1 or USD 45,623.35 ha-1.year-1. Investments on restoration of spatial heterogeneity along Tietè-Jacaré hydrographic basin and new technologies for regional economic activities must maintain ecological functions as well as increase marginal val-ues of ecosystem services and the potential annual economic return of ecological functions.
