Abstract

Considering ecosystem services (ESs) in conservation planning represents a growing interest in global standards. However, this task has been hindered by the complexity of the ecological and socio-economic attributes of ESs, and questions remain, such as how to incorporate the demand for ESs, and ensure equity among beneficiary groups. To successfully align conservation investments with local needs, we implemented the “serviceshed” concept (the geographical area where ecosystems deliver a service to a group of beneficiaries) in a novel planning approach, setting conservation targets based on ES demand. We expand on how neglecting peoples’ location and socio-economic vulnerability status while quantifying ES demand can lead to inequity issues. We tested our conceptual framework in an urban case study with the ESs of flood and heat island attenuation using a systematic conservation planning methodology that considers population vulnerability. We compared our novel approach to one that does not consider servicesheds while prioritizing sites and tested the impact of three metrics of ES demand on addressing equity issues: i) demand area, ii) number of beneficiaries, and iii) vulnerability-weighted number of beneficiaries. We showed that accounting for the spatial location of the different beneficiaries via servicesheds increased distributional equity by a factor of five. Considering vulnerability while quantifying ES demand also ensured that socio-economic equity was addressed, by factoring in peoples’ reliance on these services. The proposed approach holds significant potential in cultivating an ‘equitable space for conservation’ by aiding practitioners in linking ES supply with local beneficiaries while accounting for their vulnerability.

在保护规划中使用生态系统服务流域概念,以取得更公平的成果
在保护规划中考虑生态系统服务 (ES) 代表了全球标准中日益增长的兴趣。然而,生态系统服务的生态和社会经济属性的复杂性阻碍了这项任务的完成,问题依然存在,例如如何纳入对生态系统服务的需求并确保受益群体之间的公平性。为了成功地将保护投资与当地需求相结合,我们在一种新颖的规划方法中采用了 "服务区 "概念(生态系统为受益群体提供服务的地理区域),根据生态系统服务需求设定保护目标。我们进一步阐述了在量化生态系统服务需求时,忽视人们的地理位置和社会经济脆弱性状况会如何导致不公平问题。我们在一个城市案例研究中测试了我们的概念框架,该案例研究采用了考虑人口脆弱性的系统保护规划方法,研究了洪水和热岛衰减等生态系统服务。我们将我们的新方法与不考虑服务流域的方法进行了比较,并测试了三个 ES 需求指标对解决公平问题的影响:i) 需求区域;ii) 受益人数;iii) 脆弱性加权受益人数。我们的研究表明,通过服务流域考虑不同受益人的空间位置,可将分配公平性提高五倍。在量化环境服务需求的同时考虑脆弱性,还能通过考虑人们对这些服务的依赖程度来确保社会经济公平。所提出的方法可以帮助实践者将生态系统服务供应与当地受益者联系起来,同时考虑到他们的脆弱性,从而在培育 "公平的保护空间 "方面具有巨大潜力。

期刊介绍: Ecosystem Services is an international, interdisciplinary journal that is associated with the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP). The journal is dedicated to exploring the science, policy, and practice related to ecosystem services, which are the various ways in which ecosystems contribute to human well-being, both directly and indirectly. Ecosystem Services contributes to the broader goal of ensuring that the benefits of ecosystems are recognized, valued, and sustainably managed for the well-being of current and future generations. The journal serves as a platform for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders to share their findings and insights, fostering collaboration and innovation in the field of ecosystem services.
