Designed by a partnership of UN agencies, international scientific
organizations, and development agencies, the Millennium Ecosystem
Assessment (MA) is the most extensive study ever of the linkages
between the world's ecosystems and human well-being. The goal of
the MA is to establish the scientific basis for actions needed to
enhance the contribution of ecosystems to human well-being without
undermining their long-term productivity. With contributions by
more than 500 scientists from 70 countries, the MA has proven to be
one of the most important conservation initiatives ever undertaken,
and the ecosystem services paradigm on which it is based provides
the standard for practice. This manual supplies the specific tools
that practitioners of the paradigm need in order to extend their
work into the future. ""The manual is a stand-alone "how to" guide
to conducting assessments of the impacts on humans of ecosystem
changes. In addition, assessment practitioners who are looking for
guidance on particular aspects of the assessment process will find
individual chapters of this manual to be useful in advancing their
understanding of best practices in ecosystem assessment. The manual
builds on the experiences and lessons learned from the Millennium
Ecosystem Assessment global and sub-global assessment initiatives,
with chapters written by well-known participants in those
initiatives. It also includes insights and experiences gained from
a wider range of ecosystem service-focused assessment activities
since the completion of the MA in 2005.
