Socio-ecological approaches in the science of pricing ecosystem services: A perception-based study in some wetlands of Asia and the Pacific

Ecosystem services are natural benefits that support the lives and livelihoods of humans and are classified as use and non-use types, for provisioning, regulatory, supportive and cultural features. For the valuation and pricing of intangible non-use ecosystem services, several methods have been proposed, including accounting for loss and damage, or compensating opportunity costs. This study...

Plausible alternative future of mangroves and their ecosystem services: Case studies from Asia-Pacific region

Over the past few decades, scenario analysis emerged as a useful tool for environmental decision-making amidst multiple uncertainties. Using the influential drivers of change, scenarios portray the range of plausible alternative futures useful for quantifying the synergies and trade-offs of vital ecosystem services across multiple development trajectories. In this research, we demonstrate two case examples...

Measuring forest ecosystem services in Aceh Province for inclusion to local forest resource management plans

The project trained forest managers from Kesatuan Pengelo- laan Hutan (KPH) and Social Forestry units in Aceh Province in forest resource data collection and the use of three tools that report important forest ecosystem services. Data were collected in systematic forest plots by local KPH staff and social forestry community members for measuring forest carbon,...
