“…Rivers and their floodplains are outstanding in the provision of cultural ES (Thiele et al 2020) as people are highly connected to water historically, culturally and also emotionally (Corral-Verdugo et al 2015). This attachment represents a good starting point for communication, education and knowledge transfer regarding conservation issues, while the ES concept helps to communicate these issues with a multitude of stakeholders and to balance between different uses/needs.…”

Freshwater ecosystems are among the most threatened in the world, while providing numerous essential ecosystem services (ES) to humans. Despite their importance, research on freshwater ecosystem services is limited. Here, we examine how freshwater studies could help to advance ES research and vice versa. We summarize major knowledge gaps and suggest solutions focusing on science and policy in Europe. We found several features that are unique to freshwater ecosystems, but often disregarded in ES assessments. Insufficient transfer of knowledge towards stakeholders is also problematic. Knowledge transfer and implementation seems to be less effective towards South-east Europe. Focusing on the strengths of freshwater research regarding connectivity, across borders, involving multiple actors can help to improve ES research towards a more dynamic, landscape-level approach, which we believe can boost the implementation of the ES concept in freshwater policies. Bridging these gaps can contribute to achieve the ambitious targets of the EU’s Green Deal.

“…Penyusunan indikator juga merujuk pada studi literatur tentang kajian layanan ekosistem budaya, seperti Thiele et al (2020). Pemetaan dilakukan dengan menggunakan ArcGIS dalam rentang nilai 0-1 untuk tiap piksel berukuran 30 m, mengikuti resolusi gambar satelit Landsat.…”

“…Piksel dengan tutupan hutan alami memiliki nilai tertinggi yaitu 1, dan piksel dengan tutupan lahan terbangun (seperti perumahan) memiliki nilai terendah yaitu 0. Nilai 0,3 untuk piksel dengan tutupan lahan, lahan kosong dan perkebunan, dan nilai 0,7 untuk hutan baru di tahun 2019, ditentukan berdasarkan studi literatur dari Thiele et al (2020) dengan penyesuaian.…”

Peri-urban provides complementary urban ecosystem services when green areas in cities are decreasing due to densification. However, land cover change in the area from natural landscapes to agriculture and settlements affects the ecosystem's capacity to provide services. This study aims to identify landscape transformation using a model and analyze its effects on cultural ecosystem services at Kawah Putih (White Crater) nature-based tourism destination area in the peri-urban in South Bandung, Indonesia. This study also analyzes how cultural ecosystem services and the increasing demand for new settlements in the area have influenced tourist visitation. Landscape change in the area (1989-2019) was identified from mapsdeveloped from Landsat imagery, using the Land Change Modeler (LCM) module in Terrset. A spatial assessment of offered cultural ecosystem services was then conducted using three indicators based on the land cover change near Kawah Putih. It is found that the composition of developed areas in the district has increased from 6.09% to 10.79% in 30 years. The quality of cultural ecosystem service has decreased, which is arguably influenced by the landscape alteration in the area. However, there was an increasing trend in the number of tourists (2016-2019) despite the deterioration of landscape quality. It is argued that the result is influenced by the visitors' perception of the landscape in the case study area. The rapid land cover change in the area was affected by the nearby city's growth, in which the tourism industry is one of the elements of such transformation.

“…However, many cultural services do not lend themselves to being measured by economic value or indeed any numeric metric, including cultural heritage, spirituality, and the relationships between self and the environment. More appropriate ways to quantify cultural services such as these include using indicators [ 25 , 26 ]. For instance, indicator frameworks have been effectively utilised on river landscapes to generate maps of cultural ecosystem services; however, this approach still does not quantify intangible elements of cultural heritage [ 26 ].…”

Insect Cultural Services: How Insects Have Changed Our Lives and How Can We Do Better for Them

Societies have benefited directly and indirectly from ecosystem services provided by insects for centuries (e.g., pollination by bees and waste recycling by beetles). The relationship between people and insect ecosystem services has evolved and influenced how societies perceive and relate to nature and with each other, for example, by shaping cultural values (‘cultural ecosystem services’). Thus, better understanding the significance of insect cultural services can change societies’ motivations underpinning conservation efforts. To date, however, we still overlook the significance of many insect cultural services in shaping our societies, which in turn likely contributes to the generalised misconceptions and misrepresentations of insects in the media such as television and the internet. To address this gap, we have reviewed an identified list of insect cultural services that influence our societies on a daily basis, including cultural services related to art, recreation, and the development of traditional belief systems. This list allowed us to formulate a multi-level framework which aims to serve as a compass to guide societies to better appreciate and potentially change the perception of insect cultural services from individual to global levels. This framework can become an important tool for gaining public support for conservation interventions targeting insects and the services that they provide. More broadly, this framework highlights the importance of considering cultural ecosystems services—for which values can be difficult to quantify in traditional terms—in shaping the relationship between people and nature.
