Participatory Valuation of Forest Ecosystem Services

Sustaining biodiversity in the agricultural landscape is one of the challenges of achieving sustainable development. However, how can we conserve biodiversity without knowing its values? Multiple attempts have been made to quantify ecosystem services to support biodiversity conservation and land use management. A large body of research has covered ecosystem services valuation but the field has also been criticised for its limited consideration of value diversity among different stakeholder groups. This research aims to value and model forest ecosystem services, based on different stakeholder perspectives and under different scenarios of forest use. In order to achieve this, participatory research methods will be employed, such as participatory mapping, focus discussion groups, surveys, and participatory scenarios. This research will analyse the valuation methods used in Africa through published literature and then conduct field work in the state of Sinnar, Sudan. To analyse the people's attitude and perceptions toward forest ecosystem services.
