  1. Field Evidence That Ecosystem Service Projects Support Biodiversity and Diversify Options Rebecca L Goldman, Heather Tallis, Peter Kareiva, Gretchen Daily A Conference on Ecosystem Services (ACES) 9 December 2008

  2. Two focal questions • How do biodiversity approaches differ from ecosystem service approaches? 2) Can ecosystem service approaches mainstream conservation?

  3. Land purchase Easement purchase Focus on species and habitats Conservation approaches Biodiversity Approach

  4. Land purchase Easement purchase Focus on species and habitats Conservation approaches Biodiversity Approach Reserves: too few, too small, too isolated Purchase: too costly; too many people

  5. Land purchase Easement purchase Focus on species and habitats Service goals Consider human well-being Conservation approaches Biodiversity Approach Ecosystem service Approach Reserves: too few, too small, too isolated Purchase: too costly; too many people

  6. What are Ecosystem Services? Regulating services The benefits people obtain from ecosystems Provisioning services Supporting services Preserving options Cultural services

  7. Two focal questions • How do biodiversity approaches differ from ecosystem service approaches? 2) Can ecosystem service approaches mainstream conservation?

  8. Do ecosystem service approaches: Targeted Systems? Protected Areas?

  9. Do ecosystem service approaches: Targeted Systems? Protected Areas? Participation?

  10. Do ecosystem service approaches: Targeted Systems? Protected Areas? Participation? Reward Mechanisms?

  11. Do ecosystem service approaches: Targeted Systems? Protected Areas? Participation? Reward Mechanisms? Diversity of Revenue Streams?

  12. Methods • TNC case study • Semi-structured interviews • Project implementation • Questions about monitoring • Database • 34 ES projects • 26 BD projects • US, Central, South America • Statistical analysis • Chi-square • Mean/SE

  13. Do ecosystem service approaches: Targeted Systems? Protected Areas?

  14. Ecosystem service projects include new landscapes * p<.05 Goldman et al. 2008 PNAS

  15. Ecosystem service projects do NOT leave reserves behind Goldman et al. 2008 PNAS

  16. Ecosystem service projects address the same threats Goldman et al. 2008 PNAS

  18. Ecosystem service projects engage new stakeholders * p<.05 Goldman et al. 2008 PNAS

  19. Do ecosystem service approaches: Reward Mechanisms? Photo by: Chris Matson, TNC

  20. Ecosystem service projects use a greater variety of finance tools * p<.05 **p<.01 Goldman et al. 2008 PNAS

  21. Ecosystem service projects use a greater variety of finance tools * p<.05 **p<.01 Goldman et al. 2008 PNAS

  22. Ecosystem service projects use a greater variety of finance tools * p<.05 **p<.01 Goldman et al. 2008 PNAS

  23. Ecosystem service projects use a greater variety of finance tools * p<.05 **p<.01 Goldman et al. 2008 PNAS

  24. Ecosystem service projects can use finance tools abroad **p<.01 Goldman et al. 2008 PNAS

  25. Do ecosystem service approaches: Diversity of Revenue Streams?

  26. Ecosystem service projects diversify revenue streams **p<.01 Goldman et al. 2008 PNAS

  27. Ecosystem service projects diversify revenue streams * p<.05 Goldman et al. 2008 PNAS

  28. Potential of ecosystem service approach Work with agricultural landscapes

  29. Potential of ecosystem service approach Work with agricultural landscapes Retain private landownership

  30. Potential of ecosystem service approach Work with agricultural landscapes Retain private landownership Use more finance tools

  31. Potential of ecosystem service approach Work with agricultural landscapes Retain private landownership Use more finance tools Expand funding from corporate sources

  32. What is needed: Outcome-based monitoring Measure of return on investment
