Last week on January 10, FSD, in collaboration with the ASN Bank presented their Make Nature Count 2.0 report, marking a significant milestone in their mission to integrate ecosystem service valuation into financial decision-making. The webinar was a success, with presentations, but also an interview and more than enough discussion and questions coming from the 120 people who subscribed.
Postdoc Vacancy: Monitoring, modelling, and managing ecosystem services across landscapes in Canada
There is an opening for a postdoctoral scholar to help build an Ecosystem Service Observatory System for Canada. The work will be part of the research carried out within the ResNet project on monitoring, modelling, and managing ecosystem services across landscapes in Canada. The position is supervised by Dr. Elena Bennett, in collaboration with Dr. Rich Sharp at Spring and Dr. Becky Chaplin-Kramer at WWF. The postdoc will be based at McGill’s Macdonald Campus in Montreal. We’re very excited about the possibilities in front of us with this project, and the postdoc has the potential to be at a really cool position at the heart of the work.

New paper on national mapping and assessment of ES projects in Europe
A paper coming forth from a session at the 3rd ESP Europe conference in Tartu titled: ‘National mapping and assessment of ecosystem services projects in Europe – Participants’ experiences, state of the art and lessons learned’ was recently published in Ecosystem Services.
The national mapping and assessment of ecosystem services (ES) has been set out since 2011 with the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2020. By now, most EU Member States implemented mapping and assessment projects to some degree. We surveyed 13 EU Member States’ more recent implementations to give a systematic overview of the components assessed, the data & methods used, and the greatest challenges as perceived by participants.
