  6. …to ordinary landscapes

  7. Policy instruments • Regulation • e.g. prohibited activities, permits, planning zones • Use of financial instruments • e.g. grants, subsidies, tax breaks, user fees, taxes • Building capacity and providing people with information • e.g. training; websites; research & advisory services • More flexibility in leases and uses of interim and neglected spaces • e.g. urban brownfield; upgrading of low biodiversity value land; diversification of bland parkland)

  8. Payments for Ecosystem Services • A voluntary transaction where • A well-defined ecosystem service (or land use likely to secure that service) • Is being “bought” by a (minimum one) ecosystem service buyer • From a (minimum one) ecosystem service provider • If and only if the ecosystem service provider secures provision (conditionality)

  9. Payments for Ecosystem Services

  10. Conclusions • Sole focus on protected areas may distract from good land use/planning more generally • Environmental governance needs to be facilitated across integrated protected and “ordinary” landscapes • Fundamental thinking about interactions between society, protected areas and the greenspace between people and parks
