La relación social con el bosque y los servicios que éste ofrece han experimentado modificaciones a lo largo de la historia. La incorporación de los nuevos conceptos de valor total a los bosques y la ampliación de su marco de interés desde las ciencias forestales hacia otros agentes sociales y otras disciplinas del conocimiento han abierto la puerta a una apreciación renovada de los servicios ofrecidos por los ecosistemas forestales. En la actualidad se intentan desarrollar mecanismos que permitan captar parte de este valor como estrategia para conservar y gestionar los bosques de un modo sostenible. En este artículo se revisan los sistemas de valoración de los servicios ambientales de los bosques y su comercialización, concluyendo con algunas observaciones sobre las dificultades de su implementación práctica y el papel que puedan desempeñar en el futuro de los bosques.
The way society relates with forests and the services they offer has changed in the course of History. The inclusion in mainstream Forestry of total value concepts derived from Economics, together with the enlargement of its focus of interest to other disciplines has opened the door to a renewed appreciation of forest ecosystem services. There is an attempt to develop mechanisms to capture part of this value as a way to conserve and sustainably manage forests. In the present article we review the valuation and marketing of forest environmental services. We conclude analyzing some limitations experienced while implementing these methods in practice and discussing the role that environmental services may play in the future of forests.
