Increasing pressure from economic development and population growth
has resulted in the degradation of ecosystems around the world and
the loss of the essential services that they provide. Understanding
the linkages between ecosystem service provisioning and human
well-being is crucial for the establishment of effective
environmental and economic development policy. Presenting new
insights into the relationship between ecosystem services and
livelihoods in developing countries, this book takes up the
challenge of assessing these links to demonstrate their importance
in policy development. It pays special attention to innovative
management opportunities that improve local livelihoods and
alleviate poverty while enhancing ecosystem protection. Based on
eighteen studies in more than twenty developing countries, the
authors explore the role of biodiversity-, marine-, forest-, water-
and land-related ecosystem services, making this an invaluable
contribution to research on the role of ecosystems in supporting
the livelihoods of the poor around the world.
