2023年5月15日至17日於台大地理環境資源學系舉辦「生態系服務亞洲培訓」國際研討會，由屏科大簡赫琳副教授與國際組織生態系統服務夥伴關係ESP（The Ecosystem Services Partnership）共同合作。
本次國際研討會匯集不僅是台灣的專家學者(台灣各大專院校、中研院、農試所、林試所、臺灣永續棧、台灣環境規劃協會、台灣野鳥保育協會等單位的師生與專家)，更是吸引了來自丹麥、馬來西亞、菲律賓、越南、柬埔寨、印尼、孟加拉、南韓、奈及利亞等國際學者共襄盛舉，讓此場研討會透過共同探討、評估並賦予「自然資源」更多價值。
由ESP主席Rudolf de Groot及ESP 亞洲區域辦事處主任Namue Lee共同擔任本次國際研討會主持人，與會者積極參與小組工作坊，並按照整合生態系統服務評估的9步驟框架進行生態系統服務價值的分析、比較和共同評估。
接著由合辦單位台大地理環境資源學系，分享坪林區之研究成果，透過三種不同情境模擬，比較傳統農業、低衝擊開發設施(Low Impact Development, LID)和有機農業之間自然資源價值，試圖找到人與生態保育、經濟發展之間的平衡點。
於培訓會議中，國際學者和台灣專家學者，互相分享在生態系統服務設計和管理方面的經驗和研究成果，探討如何將生態系統服務納入政策制定和決策過程中，以促進可持續發展和環境保護。(English version below)

The international training on “Integrated Ecosystem Services Assessment ” was held in collaboration between Dr. Herlin Chien from the National Pingtung University of Science and Technology and the international organization, The Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP), from May 15th to 17th, 2023, at the Department of Geography, National Taiwan University. The training brought together students, professors, and experts from various universities in Taiwan and institutions such as the Academia Sinica, Agricultural Research Institute, Forestry Research Institute, Taiwan Sustainability Hub, Taiwan Environmental Planning Association, and Taiwan Wild Bird Conservation Association. It also attracted international Professionals from countries such as Denmark, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, South Korea, and Nigeria. The objective of this training was to collectively explore, assess, and enhance the value of “natural resources” and their services.
ESP Chair Rudolf de Groot and Namue Lee, a director of the ESP Asia regional office, co-chaired the training. Participants actively engaged in group exercises to analyze, compare, and jointly evaluate ecosystem services’ value according to the 9-step integrated ecosystem services assessment framework. As one of the co-organisers, the Department of Geography at National Taiwan University shared their research findings in the Pinglin area as a case study. Through three different scenario-building of the Pinglin area, they explored diverse methods for assessing the value of natural resources, aiming to find nature-based solutions among conventional agricultural practices, low-impact farming and organic farming. The training provided opportunities to share diverse professional experiences and research outcomes among participants and to develop ecosystem services approaches for effective nature management and related institutional change. Discussions focused on incorporating ecosystem services into policy strategies and decision-making processes to promote sustainable development and environmental protection.
