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.
