Benefits From Water Related Ecosystem Services in Africa and Climate Change
(Ecological Economics, 2018-07-01)The present study collects original monetary estimates for water related ecosystem service benefits on the African continent from 36 valuation studies. A database of 178 monetary estimates is constructed to conduct a ... -
Can existing assessment tools be used to track equity in protected area management under Aichi Target 11?
(Biological Conservation, 2018-08-01)Aichi Target 11 (AT11) includes the commitment of 194 governments to equitably manage protected areas (PAs) by 2020. Here we evaluate whether existing PA Management Effectiveness (PAME) and social and governance assessment ... -
