An operational model for mainstreaming ecosystem services for implementation

摘要: Research on ecosystem services has grown markedly in recent years. However, few studies are embedded a social process designed to ensure effective management of services. Most research focused only biophysical and valuation assessments putative As mission-oriented discipline, service should be user-inspired user-useful, which will require that researchers respond stakeholder needs from the outset collaborate with them strategy development implementation. Here we provide pragmatic operational model for achieving safeguarding The comprises three phases: assessment, planning, management. Outcomes social, biophysical, used identify opportunities constraints latter then transformed into user-friendly products identify, stakeholders, strategic objectives implementation (the planning phase). phase undertakes coordinates actions achieve protection flow these beneficiaries. This outcome is achieved via mainstreaming, or incorporating policies practices sectors deal land- water-use planning. Management adaptive institutionalized suite learning organizations representative concerned decision-making By following phases our model, projects likely empower stakeholders implement on-the-ground resilience corresponding social-ecological systems.
