The interdisciplinary and cross-cultural approach to using and evaluating assessment tools allowed us to learn about the opportunities and pitfalls associated with the valuation of ecosystem services and informed the preparation of decision-support tools for a range of stakeholders in research, policy and practice. In the workshop, the opportunities of using ecosystem services as a tool were illustrated by payment for ecosystem services initiatives in Uganda, community-based workshops held in Benin, Uganda and Tanzania, and willingness-to-pay studies conducted among communities surrounding Lake Tana and Pendjari Biosphere Reserves. The valuation of ecosystem services in Man and the Biosphere Reserves ‘Evamab’ project aims to connect local managers and communities—who are the ultimate stewards of their social-ecological systems—and global beneficiaries of large-scale ecosystem services, such as carbon storage and climate stability, to the realities of the day-to-day management of African Biosphere Reserves.
