Ecosystem services and the law

Article Abstract:

Ecosystem services, or environmental restoration, should be incorporated into day-to-day social policy to produce the highest level of economic and ecological benefits. Legislation requiring the conservation of natural resources and compensation for environmental damage would reduce health risks and remediation costs, and would advance the development of ecologically friendly technologies and processes.

The ecosystem approach to conservation: reply to Goldstein

Article Abstract:

Ecosystem function is a necessary component of conservation management policies. Although most researchers agree that a species-centered approach is too limiting, others promote a focus on other factors such as relationships between processes and organisms. This focus however would reduce data-gathering efforts to individualized occurrences, and would fail to account for the ecosystem as a whole.

Examining relationships between ecosystem function and biodiversity: reply to Goldstein

Article Abstract:

Wildlife conservation efforts can be enhanced through policies based on models that incorporate ecosystem functioning. By concentrating on the dominating processes that structure and govern ecosystems, conservationists can direct management effectively. Ecosystem functioning provides an overall assessment of a given environment and its organisms, as well as specific interrelationships.
