Ecosystem services are inheritances and functions of nature that benefit the population, being made available through the environment, through biotic and abiotic components. Thus, there is a variety of abiotic elements in nature, including: geological (rocks, minerals and fossils); geomorphological (relief forms, topography and physical procedures); pedological (soil) and hydrological (water). Thus, the identification of the main services present in the interior dunes will assist in conservation, enabling the continued supply of these goods to society. In this sense, the present work aims to identify the ecosystem services associated with the interior dunes of Casa Nova (BA). Methodologically, we used the classification by Gray, Gordon and Brown (2013) and Silva and Nascimento (2016), which addresses intrinsic value and services: regulation, support, provision, culture and knowledge. Office activities were carried out, the results obtained were discussed and written; field, analyzing geodiversity and identifying ecosystem services and laboratory, including the production of maps and non-textual elements. The results were identified in the geomorphological sites: Caminho das Dunas: the intrinsic value and services of: regulation, support, provision and cultural; in Dunas do Velho Chico: intrinsic value and services of: regulation, support, provision, cultural and knowledge and Ilha dos Moisés: intrinsic value and services of: regulation, support, provision and cultural. Therefore, the community needs to understand that it is necessary to conserve the areas, as the availability of services depends on conservation.
