Humankind benefits from a multitude of resources and processes that
are supplied by ecosystems, and collectively these benefits are
known as ecosystem services. Interest in this topic has grown
exponentially over the last decade, as biologists and economists
have tried to quantify these benefits to justify management
interventions. Yet, as this book demonstrates, the implications for
justice and injustice have rarely been explored and works on
environmental justice are only now addressing the importance of
ecosystem services. The authors establish important new middle
ground in arguments between conservationists and critics of
market-based interventions such as Payment for Ecosystem Services.
Neither can environmental management be separated from justice
concerns, as some conservationists like to believe, nor is it in
fundamental opposition to justice, as critics like to put it. The
book develops this novel interpretation of justice in environmental
management through analyses of prominent governance interventions
and the conceptual underpinnings of the ecosystem services
framework. Key examples described are revenue-sharing around
protected areas and REDD+ for forest ecosystems. The analyses
demonstrate that interventions create opportunities for enhancing
social justice, yet also reveal critical design features that cause
ostensibly technical interventions to generate injustices.
