The rapid pace of human development poses significant challenges to the sustainability of ecosystem services, making this a major focus of contemporary research. Recent studies have shown that the expansion of human activities beyond the carrying capacity of ecosystems is gradually changing the structure, landscapes and natural processes and affecting ecosystem services. The decline of ecosystem services itself causes serious competition for resource exploitation, sometimes leading to conflict. To prevent the continued loss and degradation of ecosystems and their vital services, the assessment and analysis of ecosystem services by stakeholder groups and types of values provides an improved basis for research and governance of ecosystem services in relation to environmental sustainability. Sustainable development is defined as development that meets the needs of the present while protecting the Earth’s life support system, ensuring the well-being of current and future generations. In this study, a systematic review of the scientific literature on ecosystem services was conducted using a documentary data collection method and a descriptive-analytical approach. The dimensions of ecosystem services include: the concept of ecosystem services, supply and demand for ecosystem services, and the economic valuation of ecosystem services. Therefore, achieving sustainability requires communities to pay attention to a range of biophysical, economic, and governance issues, and the results of this study can provide valuable assistance to policymakers and planners in identifying the best options for proposed projects. Therefore, in order to properly and appropriately utilize ecosystems, humans must pay attention to the interaction with ecological structures and functions and the economic valuation of the environment.
