The management of ecosystems in the Global South often involves tradeoffs between the conservation of global ecosystem services (ES, e.g. biodiversity), on the one hand, and provision of ES (e.g. food) and protection from ecosystem disservices (ED, e.g. crop raids) for local people. In our ESPA-funded 'Just Ecosystem Management' research, we found that the use of justice analyses improved our conceptual understanding of such tradeoffs and provided theoretical insights into how we might work to resolve them. In this proposed follow-on project, we combine the insights on justice with recent innovations in wellbeing research, translate this novel conceptual approach into a robust strategy for empirical research and develop research tools for the wider ESPA community. The underlying rationale is that an equitable distribution of ES and ED, meaningful participation of poor people in management decisions and recognition of their knowledge and experiences creates positive impacts on the contribution of ES to poverty alleviation.We build on knowledge of the Nam Et Phou Loeuy region in northern Laos accumulated under the I-REDD+ Project and a comparison of three governance interventions intended to reconcile global and local ES (resettlement, use combined with protection, tourism revenue sharing). We provide complementary, multidisciplinary data by applying the following main research questions in four sites:(1) What ES and ED are present at the landscape scale? (2) How does availability and use of ES/ED differ between sites with different interventions and for different stakeholders? (3) How has availability and use of ES/ED changed over the preceding 13 years, and to what extent have the interventions caused the changes? (4) What are local stakeholders' notions of wellbeing and justice, both individually and collectively, with particular regard to ES and ED?(5) How do people perceive changes in their individual wellbeing? What contributions do ES make to wellbeing, what harms do ED create, and how has this changed?(6) How do different stakeholders (collectively and individually) and experts evaluate different forms of interventions to be just or unjust, and how do their evaluations relate to wellbeing outcomes?The project will produce four main outputs for ESPA research:1) Empirical insights on how different interventions designed to reconcile local and global ES affect the contributions of ES to poverty alleviation. 2) Tools for wider research on the contributions of ES to poverty alleviation appropriate to remote areas of the Global South, including:- Disaggregated ES and ED inventory- Guidelines for expert justice assessments of ecosystem management- Protocol for participatory workshops on ES, wellbeing and justice- Interview guide on ES, wellbeing and justice3) Data sets on ES/ED and their effects on wellbeing.4) The Participatory Ecosystem Services Inventory Tool (PESIT), which would allow local communities to identify and measure a range of ES/ED and map key stakeholders with support from external facilitators. The research will be planned and tools designed alongside the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in consultation with local stakeholders including government officials, NGOs and researchers. WCS are a major global stakeholder in ecosystem management and are actively keen to be involved in testing of tools in their own sites in Laos and Cambodia and applying these tools to improve the effectiveness of interventions in including and benefitting poor and marginalised individuals and groups. The tool will ultimately be made available in the form of a manual, disseminated over the internet and through presentations at selected international forums. It is expected to be of direct relevance to the work of government officials, donors and NGOs in the Global South, thereby creating tangible benefits for poor people in low-income countries.

全球南方的生态系统管理通常涉及在保护全球生态系统服务（ES，例如生物多样性）与为当地人民提供ES（例如食物）和保护其免受生态系统损害（艾德，例如作物袭击）之间进行权衡。在ESPA资助的“公正生态系统管理”研究中，我们发现使用公正分析提高了我们对这种权衡的概念理解，并为我们如何解决这些问题提供了理论见解。在这个拟议的后续项目中，我们将联合收割机对正义的见解与福祉研究的最新创新相结合，将这种新颖的概念方法转化为实证研究的强大战略，并为更广泛的ESPA社区开发研究工具。其基本原理是，公平分配ES和艾德，贫困人口有意义地参与管理决策，并承认他们的知识和经验，这对环境服务对扶贫的贡献产生了积极影响。我们利用老挝北方南富来地区在I-REDD+下积累的知识项目和三个治理干预措施的比较，旨在协调全球和地方ES（重新安置，使用与保护相结合，旅游收入分享）。我们提供补充，多学科的数据，通过应用以下主要研究问题在四个网站：（1）什么ES和艾德是目前在景观尺度？(2)在不同干预措施和不同利益相关者的站点之间，ES/艾德的可用性和使用有何不同？(3)在过去的13年里，环境服务/艾德的提供和使用发生了怎样的变化，干预措施在多大程度上引起了这些变化？(4)地方利益攸关方对福祉和正义的概念是什么，无论是个人还是集体，特别是在环境和社会服务和艾德方面？(5)人们如何看待个人幸福感的变化？ES对幸福有什么贡献，艾德造成了什么危害，这种情况是如何改变的？(6)不同的利益相关者（集体和个人）和专家如何评估不同形式的干预措施是公正的还是不公正的，他们的评估与福祉结果有何关系？该项目将为ESPA研究产生四个主要成果：1）旨在协调地方和全球环境服务的不同干预措施如何影响环境服务对减贫的贡献的经验性见解。2)适用于全球南方偏远地区的关于生态系统和环境退化对减贫贡献的更广泛研究工具，包括：-分类的生态系统和艾德清单-专家对生态系统管理进行公正评估的准则-关于生态系统、福祉和公正的参与性研讨会议定书-关于生态系统、福祉和公正的访谈指南3）关于生态系统和环境退化及其对福祉的影响的数据集。该研究将与野生动物保护协会（WCS）一起规划和设计工具，并与当地利益相关者，包括政府官员，非政府组织和研究人员进行磋商。WCS是生态系统管理的主要全球利益相关者，并积极参与在老挝和柬埔寨的测试工具，并应用这些工具来提高干预措施的有效性，包括贫困和边缘化的个人和群体。该工具最终将以手册的形式提供，通过互联网和在选定的国际论坛上的介绍进行传播。预计这将与全球南方的政府官员、捐助者和非政府组织的工作直接相关，从而为低收入国家的穷人创造切实的利益。
