It defines scenario pathways for land cover and biodiversity status, then links habitat quality and wildlife population indicators to spatial patterns and future tourism impacts. Methods combine baseline and projected land cover layers, habitat quality indexing, wildlife status estimation, and an integrated evaluation framework to quantify tourism value changes under different futures.","| Authorized\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> |\n| --- |\n| ic Disclosure\u003Cbr> |\n| Pub l\u003Cbr> |\n| sure Authorized\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> |\n| Pub l ic Disclo\u003Cbr> |\n| thorized\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Potential changes in biodiversity and effects on cultural ecosystem services |\n| Disc losure Au\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> Background noteforthe Kenya CCDR prepared byJaneTurpie, LukeWilsonandGwyn |\n| Public\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> |\n| Authorized\u003Cbr> |\n| b l ic Disclosure\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> |\n| Pu\u003Cbr> |\n|  |\n| \u003Cbr>May 2023 |\n\nTable of Contents  \nAcronyms.............................................................................................................................. ii  \nAcknowledgements ............................................................................................................. iii  \n1.
