The tropics harbour more species than anywhere else on Earth. This biodiversity supports a number of ecosystem services -- benefits that humankind derives from the natural environment, including water, nutrient-rich soils and pest-control by predatory birds and insects -- that are essential for human well-being, and it also underpins many cultural attachments that people have with nature. However, the disturbance of natural habitats and their conversion for other uses, such as farming, are driving a global extinction crisis. This project takes an innovative approach to understand the links between biodiversity and ecosystem services and cultural provision using the Colombian Andes as a case study. The Colombian Andes are one of the most biodiversity rich places on Earth, their soils contain carbon-rich peats, ecosystem services are derived for the majority of Colombia's human population, and these are rich in cultural values on both a personal and community level. In spite of this tremendous wealth, hostilities in Colombia have long hampered research to understand eco-cultural relationships. The reduction in hostilities creates a policy window to impact the development of a sustainable bioeconomy, i.e. the economic exploitation of its biological resources, underpinned by Colombia's high biodiversity. There are inherent environmental and cultural risks of capitalising upon biodiversity, which could drive negative outcomes for conservation or society. Our multidisciplinary programme will answer the major, unanswered question of how best to incorporate and optimise the combination of biodiversity, ecosystem service, and cultural values within natural resource management. In doing so, we will transform the role of cultural heritage and human-environmental experiential knowledge within the design of conservation programmes. Our study will answer this key overarching question by fulfilling four main Objectives that will: (1) define the impacts of habitat conversion and disturbance on biodiversity; (2) resolve how ecosystem service provisioning and resilience is affected by habitat conversion and disturbance, focusing specifically on carbon stocking, nutrient recycling, soil nutrient and water retention, and landslide prevention; (3) understand how local communities perceive and attach cultural value to biodiversity and ecosystem services, via a program of story-telling workshops; and (4) integrate environmental and cultural values to co-design natural resource management, and translate these findings to core stakeholders, from local communities, to NGOs and relevant government departments. This research will thus enable our multidisciplinary team of experts to support Colombia in developing its economy in a manner that continues to protect biodiversity, ecosystem services and cultural values and beliefs.

热带地区拥有的物种比地球上其他任何地方都多。这种生物多样性支持许多生态系统服务——人类从自然环境中获得的好处，包括水、营养丰富的土壤以及掠食性鸟类和昆虫的害虫防治——这些对人类福祉至关重要，而且还支撑着人们对自然的许多文化依恋。然而，对自然栖息地的干扰及其向农业等其他用途的转变正在引发全球灭绝危机。该项目以哥伦比亚安第斯山脉为案例研究，采用创新方法来了解生物多样性与生态系统服务和文化供给之间的联系。哥伦比亚安第斯山脉是地球上生物多样性最丰富的地区之一，其土壤含有富含碳的泥炭，生态系统服务为哥伦比亚大多数人口提供，这些在个人和社区层面都具有丰富的文化价值。尽管拥有巨大的财富，哥伦比亚的敌对行动长期以来一直阻碍着了解生态文化关系的研究。敌对行动的减少创造了一个影响可持续生物经济发展的政策窗口，即以哥伦比亚高度生物多样性为基础的生物资源的经济开发。利用生物多样性存在固有的环境和文化风险，这可能会给保护或社会带来负面后果。我们的多学科计划将回答一个尚未解答的主要问题：如何在自然资源管理中最好地整合和优化生物多样性、生态系统服务和文化价值的组合。在此过程中，我们将转变文化遗产和人类环境经验知识在保护计划设计中的作用。我们的研究将通过实现四个主要目标来回答这个关键的总体问题，这些目标将：（1）确定栖息地转变和干扰对生物多样性的影响； (2) 解决生态系统服务供给和复原力如何受到栖息地转变和干扰的影响，特别关注碳储存、养分循环、土壤养分和水分保持以及滑坡预防； (3) 通过讲故事研讨会计划，了解当地社区如何看待和赋予生物多样性和生态系统服务文化价值； (4) 整合环境和文化价值观，共同设计自然资源管理，并将这些发现转化为核心利益相关者，从当地社区到非政府组织和相关政府部门。因此，这项研究将使我们的多学科专家团队能够支持哥伦比亚以持续保护生物多样性、生态系统服务以及文化价值观和信仰的方式发展经济。
