Worldwide network to enhance the science, policy and practice of ecosystem services for conservation and sustainable development
ESP connects over 3000 ecosystem services scientists, policy makers and practitioners who work together in more than 40 Working Groups and a growing number of National Networks on all continents. ESP regularly organises World and Regional conferences and provides many Services to further enhance the application of ecosystem services for nature conservation, ecosystem restoration and sustainable management. Partner up with ESP and join in the global effort for the future of our Natural Capital!
Upcoming National Ecosystem Services Partnership Webinar
Tammy Newcomer-Johnson, ecologist with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development, will present on the EPA’s new EcoService Models Library on the 10th of May. This online database allows users to find, examine, and compare ecological models to estimate the production of ecosystem goods and services.

With the launch of the Restoration Opportunities Optimisation Tool (ROOT), the world has a better way of making decisions on ecosystem services, specifically in support of the people who actually rely on them. Following over three years of development through a partnership between International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and The Natural Capital Project, ROOT is a software tool that optimises trade-offs among different ecosystem services to help decision-makers visualise where investments in restoration could be made that would optimise benefits for multiple landscape goals.

The International Spring University (ISU), an initiative of the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), announces a 1-week training on Ecosystem Services Modeling. The training will take place from 8 – 12 October 2018 in Bilbao, Spain – just the week before the ESP Europe 2018 Conference.
The 2018 event is directed to a new generation of scientists and policy analysts who can effectively use coupled human-environmental models in research, policy and management to address and solve sustainable problems. [Read more…] about One week training on Ecosystem Services Modeling
