TLDR
In this article, the authors examined the economic value of selected ecosystem services of Corbett Tiger Reserve, India, and derived direct and indirect and opportunity costs through socioeconomic surveys, and showed that, though the benefits outweigh costs, they need to be accrued to local communities so as to balance the distribution of benefits and costs.About:

Valuing forest ecosystem services: What we know and what we don't
K. N. Ninan,Makoto Inoue +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the studies that have tried to estimate the value of forest ecosystem services and discuss the shortcomings of existing studies, and suggest that future research should focus on the neglected ecosystem services, "disservices", assessing the role of dynamic factors and environmental catastrophes on the provision of ecosystem services.

The economic value of wetland ecosystem services: evidence from the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, Nepal.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the economic value of the selective ecosystem services of the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, using a combination of market-based and value transfer methods, and found that economic benefit generated from the reserve was worth USD 16 million per year, equivalent to USD 982 per household.

Kabir Uddin,Sunita Chaudhary,Nakul Chettri,Rajan Kotru,M. S. R. Murthy,Ram Prasad Chaudhary,Wu Ning,Sahas Man Shrestha,SK Gautam +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed land cover change and forest fragmentation between 1990 and 2009, and the predicted change for 2030, and suggested that expansions of cropland coupled with high dependency on forests are the major drivers of observed forest change.
