The ecosystem servives provided by vultures

What are ecosystem services?
Ecosystem services refer to the various benefits that natural environments provide to humanity. These services are categorized into three main types:
1. Provisioning services: These include the direct products obtained from ecosystems such as food, water, and raw materials.
2. Regulating services: These involve the natural processes that help maintain environmental balance, such as climate regulation, water purification, and flood control.
3. Cultural services: These encompass the non-material benefits derived from nature, including recreational, spiritual, and aesthetic experiences.
