Participation in Ecosystem Services

An Online Working Group for Exploring The Role of Participation in Ecosystem Services Planning

Welcome to the "Participation in Ecosystem Services" group on the Ecosystem Commons. This group builds off the efforts of a working group at the 2012 Ecosystem Services Partnership conference in Portland, Oregon. At the end of the working group, many participants expressed an interest in keeping the dialog going. This Ecosystem Commons group provides a forum for participants to share resources, pose questions to the group, and include other colleagues that were unable to partipate at the ESP conference (or many other uses that you see appropriate).

Scenarios for ecosystem service assessments

The Natural Capital Project has published two reports and six case studies on developing scenarios in the context of assessing ecosystem services to inform decisions. This includes a Scenarios Primer that introduces scenarios with short case studies and Scenarios Guidance and Case Studies which is a more detailed resource for practitioners with full case studies and links to further resources.

Saving and relocating of a urban ecology

Normally when a complex is planned to construct a multistory housing apartment in a compact city like Dhaka, the rich ecology there are left unattended and unwatered for the long period between the agreement  signing (ecology owner & construction company) and authority approval obtaining- normally 12 to 18 months.

Most of the plants die in the mean time. Slum dwellers collect some for fuel wood. The left over are bulldogged and thrown away by the company while start construction.
