  "term": "Direct Use",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "Direct use of an ecological end-product (EEP) means that the user or beneficiary directly extracts the EEP or interacts with or physically senses the EEP in its environment. This is the value people hold for a service that they use in any tangible way. These include consumptive uses (e.g., harvesting goods) and nonconsumptive uses (e.g., enjoyment of scenic beauty). Nonuse values are theoretically distinct from use values, although the boundary between use and nonuse values is often fuzzy.",
