  4. Overview of projects, programs and networks on ESA case studies in which ESP-members are actively involved Some examples: AFROMAISON: EU-funded project on adaptive and integrated tools and strategies for natural resource management in Africa (2011-2014). Very interesting project with many useful tools and case studies under development. Civinet: EU funded project on Community Based Ecosystem Management with case studies in Brazil and Costa Rica. Led by ZALF, Germany, OSLO (Offering Sustainable Land Use Options): aims to promote responsible land-use by demonstrating the total economic value of terrestrial ecosystems and generating socio-economically viable and environmentally sustainable land use options based on numerous case studies. Lead: Simone Quatrini, UNCCD, Italy. SGA (Sub Global Assessment): a follow-up of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment with many (90+) Case studies on all continents, TEEB case studies Ecosystem Services Partnership www.es-partnership.org ESP
