In Cusco, the provisioning services are all the exemplified in TEEB website. Ecosystems provide the conditions for growing food which comes principally from agro-systems but this need to be enhance, lack of knowledge to manage agricultural areas is creating the desertion from this areas and in the case of wild foods from early jungle are often underestimated. In addition, we have different kind of raw material like natural gas, fresh water and a variety of medical resources. ![resources][1] b. Regulating services: Local climate and air quality in Cusco is moderate, it is located in a valley so trees and green areas provide shade and regulate the local climate by storing and sequestering greenhouse gases. Also, extreme weather events or natural hazards include floods, storms, tsunamis, avalanches and landslides are not even frequent in Cusco. ![climate][2] c. Habitat or Supporting services: In Cusco we have some protected areas where habitats for species provide everything to survive: food; water; and shelter. Like Manu reserve. In the case of Maintenance of genetic diversity it is variety of genes between and within species populations. Some habitats have an exceptionally high number of species which makes them more genetically diverse than others. ![habitats][3] d. Cultural services: The first economical activity in Cusco is Tourism because of the great history we have. In that sense, Cultural and eco-tourism can also educate people about the importance of biological diversity too. We can also find Spiritual experience and sense of place: In many parts of the city natural features such as specific forests, caves or mountains are considered sacred or have a religious meaning. Nature is a common element of Andean religion and traditional knowledge, and people know that associated customs are important for creating a sense of belonging. ![cultural][4] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14603038712278155.jpg [2]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14603039107493755.jpg [3]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14603039432167158.jpg [4]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14603039694221164.jpg
