- Abstract
The valuation of ecosystem services (SE) is a controversial issue since there are different perspectives. In general, four criteria have been used: intrinsic value (for the simple fact of existing), instrumental value (economic), relational (cultural) and biological value. Considering all of them, it is possible to generate an integrated value that leads to a better approximation of the importance of ecosystem services for the human well. In this work, maps have made that show the spatial variation of the SE assessment, considering the four criteria and an integral evaluation; in the Biological Corridor of the Cloud Forests, Mexico. Regarding the economic valuation, there were no areas of agreement between the payment of ecosystem services and use of forestry. In contrast, to cultural aspects and of intrinsic valuation, the areas with the most intensive use of firewood coincide with the presence of indigenous settlements, as well as, areas with forest cover. With this, it will be possible to generate a comprehensive assessment that will serve to identify priority sites for conservation and sustainable management.
