About

The Natural Capital Project Data Hub provides analysis-ready ecosystem services data as well as data produced by and used in InVEST®, our suite of free, open-source ecosystem service models. With this Data Hub, we intend to simplify and accelerate the creation and use of ecosystem services information for a wide range of analyses and decisions. Contact us with feedback about the site or suggestions for open access datasets to add.
