  1. Eliciting Demand for Ecosystem Services: Results and User Guidance from the OPERAs Demand Synthesis Working Group OPERAs Consortium Meeting Sofia, Bulgaria 16 May 2017 Kimberly Nicholas & Heather Schoonover (Wine); AnjaHelena Liski (Scotland); Sibyl Brunner & Adrienne Gret-Regamey (Swiss Alps); InêsRosário & Margarida Santos-Reis (Montado); ApostolDyankov & RainaPopova (Danube); José Lascurain (Barcelona); Astrid van Teeffelen (Europe)

  2. Exemplar deliverable approach • Exemplar deliverable (all products + overview) available at http://operas-project.eu/sites/default/files/resources/wp2-d2-3-complete-1compressed.pdf

  3. Why demand? Figure reprinted from Scholte, S.S.K., Todorova, M., van Teeffelen, A.J.A., Verburg, P. (2016). Public Support for Wetland Restoration: What is the Link With Ecosystem Service Values? Wetlands 36:467-481. Adapted from de Groot et al., 2010, and Haines-Young and Potschin, 2010. Studying only supply risks focusing on services viewed as ecologically important by researchers, but not valued by stakeholders Better linking supply and demand can help more fully achieve the potential for ecosystem services to improve policy and practice

  4. Research question and methods • Compiled data in shared table based on CICES, including ecosystem services studied, indicators used, indicator values, stakeholders included, and scale • Also did email survey of working group members • Each working group member focused analysis on particular aspect • Monthly Skype meetings and in-person meeting in Antwerp Shared data table created by Sibyl Brunner, with data inputs by all working group members. How can researchers elicit demand for ecosystem services?

  5. 8 step framework to elicit demand for ecosystem services Available as 3-page “quick guide” and full document with examples from OPERAs • Quick guide: http://www.oppla.eu/product/17540 • Full document: http://www.oppla.eu/product/17515

  6. 1. Determine study objectives Studies included in the demand synthesis working group. Please see Appendix for references.

  7. 2. Identify and engage stakeholders 2.1 Identify and analyze stakeholders • Identify individual stakeholder characteristics • See how stakeholders interact 2.2 Engage stakeholders Identifying and analyzing stakeholders of ecosystem services PowerPoint presentation by José Lascurain http://www.oppla.eu/product/17518 Foundations of a positive relationships with stakeholders in research, identified from an email survey with the seven exemplars in the demand synthesis working group, by AnjaLiski.

  8. 3. Identify all potential ecosystem services for your case Wine examples from Klara Winkler, Kimberly Nicholas, Sarah Ivory, Lisa Ingwall-King and Heather Schoonover 3.1 Select framework (e.g. CICES) 3.2 Enumerate ecosystem services for your case

  9. 4. Develop indicators for ecosystem services Use of ecosystem services indicators to analyze ecosystem service demand across the seven exemplars in the demand synthesis working group. Analysis and figure by Sibyl Brunner.

  10. 4. Develop indicators for ecosystem services Examples of indicators translated into clear and simple language in the exemplar demand studies. Table by Sibyl Brunner. 4.3 Represent indicators clearly in words Since started with framework can “back translate” to shared standard Framework relevant to researchers, indicators relevant to stakeholders

  11. 5. Select method to elicit demand Examples of methods and used in the exemplar demand studies and their rationale. Table by Sibyl Brunner. Examples of exemplar methods and rationales

  12. 6. Elicit demand http://www.sarahinscience.com/blog/importance-of-a-work-life-balance-lessons-learned Swiss Alps Exemplar choice experiment Sibyl Brunner Carry out your research!

  13. 7. Analyze and compare results Relative demand for the six most valued ecosystem services across five of the exemplars in the demand synthesis working group. Analysis and figure by Kimberly Nicholas.

  14. 8. Assess implications of results Goals Increase supply Protect supply Increase demand Maintain demand Actions Manage ecosystem Campaign, educate Continue what is being done Potential goals and actions based on levels of supply and demand.

  15. 8. Assess implications of results Potential goals and actions based on levels of supply and demand. Figure by Heather Schoonover.

  16. Conclusion We were able to identify common threads in our approaches from very different demand studies Using the 8 step framework could facilitate a common approach to and comparisons between future studies
