Building on studies undertaken as part of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA), five countries will focus on a) site-specific assessments; b) close involvement of national and local stakeholders; and c) tools, models and methods for decision makers and policy implementation to mainstream ecosystem management approaches into national development policies. ProEcoServ combines three distinct but linked components: Support Tools for Policy Making: Development and application of multi-scale and locally valid tools and decision support models for development planning and policy making. Assistance for Policy Implementation: Support for the application of ecosystem and ecosystem service management approaches at national and transboundary levels. Bridge between Science and Policy: Strengthening of science-policy interfaces to reinforce multi-scale linkages from local to international actors, as well as to bridge the gap between research results and policy application in developing countries and the international biodiversity arena.
