Collaboration calls
Survey of the relationships between costs, precision, and impacts of Ecosystem Services Valuation (ESV) Studies
Participate in this survey to help create a roadmap to help policy makers to balance their available resources and required level of precision to achieve maximum impact from ESV studies. To do this, a database is being created of existing studies that includes their approximate cost, precision, and impact. Authors of ESV studies can answer a questionnaire to help flesh out this database.
If you are the author of an ESV study, we are hoping that you will take the time to answer a few questions about your study. [Read more…] about Survey of the relationships between costs, precision, and impacts of Ecosystem Services Valuation (ESV) Studies
