An ecosystem services approach allows one to list and measure the services provided by “nature” that contribute to human well-being within a given perimeter. Through a participatory process, stakeholders evaluate the services provided in the current state, identify their uniqueness, and how to mitigate or compensate lost services through a deliberative process. Here, the favoured approach is to focus less on impacts (as in a traditional impact study) and more on an optimisation of available resources for all participants. |
