Ecosystem Services
PowerPoint Presentation Ecosystem Services Image Credit:Water, Land and Ecosystems - CGIAR Ecosystem Services The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment defined Ecosystem Services as “the benefits people originate from ecosystems”. Besides provisioning services or goods like food, wood as well as other recycleables, plants, creatures, fungi and micromicroorganisms provide essential controlling services for instance pollination of crops, protection against soil erosion and water purification, together with several cultural services, like entertainment and a sense of place. Whatever the ecological, cultural and economic requirement for these facilities, environments as well as the biodiversity that underpins them continue being degraded and lost within an unparalleled scale. One primary reason with this particular is the value (importance) of environments to human welfare remains undervalued rather than fully recognized in every single day planning and decision making, basically, the benefits of their expertise aren't, or only partly, drawn in conventional market overall costs. Planned Activities To achieve these objectives, the CEM Ecosystem Service Thematic Group aims to make a global network of understanding bases and situation studies so that you can develop best practice guidelines for your sustainable control of environments, while using further reason for demonstrating real existence using the ‘ecosystem services concept’ which purchasing nature conservation and restoration ‘pays’! IUCN Linkages Due to the quantity of disciplines connected using the Ecosystem Services theme, the CEMES Thematic Group (TG) will probably be cooperating carefully as well as other CEM thematic groups, on mixcutting issues, like the Ecosystem Red List TG Ecosystem Restoration TG Ecosystem as well as the Private Sector TG and Ecosystem Approach TG. Furthermore, collaboration will probably be explored as well as other IUCN commissions, partnerships and regional offices like the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) and Global Partnership on Forest and Landscape Restoration (GPFLR). Reason for the CEM Thematic Group on Ecosystem Services The overall reason for this Thematic Group is always to boost the understanding base on ecosystem services in addition to their values, and stimulate the mixture from the understanding in planning and selection for sustainable ecosystem management. Specific Objectives Stimulate research round the capacity and resilience of environments to provide services or products in the sustainable manner, and develop tools and guidelines for practical applications and integrated ecosystem services assessments. Highlight the importance (value) of ecosystem services for governments, communities and corporations understand the users/beneficiaries (stakeholders) of ecosystem services and stimulate partnerships as well as other incentive mechanisms in order to save and restore environments in addition to their services. Global Partnerships The CEM Ecosystem Services theme in concert with carefully while using primary worldwide organizations, among others: The Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP): a platform that aims to improve communication, coordination and cooperation, also to create a strong network of individuals and organizations. The ESP is chaired by Rudolf de Groot, former Lead and current Special Consultant in the Ecosystem Services Thematic Group. The SubGlobal Assessment (SGA) Network, coordinated by UNEPWCMC, seeks to make a common platform for practitioners associated with ecosystem assessment at regional, subregional, national and subnational levels. The intention is always to promote and facilitate improved capacity in undertaking and ultizing assessments. THANKS
