Worldwide network to enhance the science, policy and practice of ecosystem services for conservation and sustainable development
ESP connects over 3000 ecosystem services scientists, policy makers and practitioners who work together in more than 40 Working Groups and a growing number of National Networks on all continents. ESP regularly organises World and Regional conferences and provides many Services to further enhance the application of ecosystem services for nature conservation, ecosystem restoration and sustainable management. Partner up with ESP and join in the global effort for the future of our Natural Capital!
The ES conference „Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystem Services: Challenges in a global environmental context“ will take place on 1-3 July 2020 in Mykolas Romeris University in Vilnius. The conference is organized within the frame of the LINESAM project.
Conference organizers plan to publish a special issue in a high ranked (Q1) scientific journal. The conference is free of charge, however, the number of places is limited.
