- Discusses novel science that focuses on providing standardized valuations of multiple ecosystem services in a framework that reveals tradeoffs among services, as well as opportunities for possible new sources of funding for conservation. This science is connected to open-access online tools for mapping and valuing ecosystem services (InVEST).
- Incorporates policy analysis and provides guidance on policy implementation
- Boxed case studies authored by conservation or political leaders from the field enliven the book and give it broader appeal
- Common chapter templates and rigorous editing provide a coherent and integrated work
In 2005, The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) provided the first global assessment of the world's ecosystems and ecosystem services. It concluded that recent trends in ecosystem change threatened human wellbeing due to declining ecosystem services. This bleak prophecy has galvanized conservation organizations, ecologists, and economists to work toward rigorous valuations of ecosystem services at a spatial scale and with a resolution that can inform public policy.
The editors have assembled the world's leading scientists in the fields of conservation, policy analysis, and resource economics to provide the
most intensive and best technical analyses of ecosystem services to date. A key idea that guides the science is that the modelling and valuation approaches being developed should use data that are readily available around the world. In addition, the book documents a toolbox of ecosystem service mapping, modeling, and valuation models that both The Nature Conservancy and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) are beginning to apply around the world as they transform conservation from a biodiversity only to a people and ecosystem services agenda. The book addresses land, freshwater, and marine systems at a variety of spatial scales and includes discussion of how to treat both climate change and cultural values when examining tradeoffs among ecosystem
services.Readership: This graduate level text is suitable for students and professional researchers in the fields of conservation biology, ecology, and ecological/environmental economics. It will also be a valuable reference for conservation practitioners, land managers, and government/NGO consultants and advisers.
