The construction of culture as a class of ecosystem service presents a significant test of the holistic ambitions of an ecosystems approach to decision making. In this paper we explore the theoretical challenges arising from efforts to understand ecosystems as objects of cultural concern and consider the operational complexities associated with understanding how, and with what consequences, knowledge about cultural ecosystem services are created, communicated and accounted for in real world decision making. We specifically forward and develop a conceptual framework for understanding cultural ecosystem services and related benefits in terms of the environmental spaces and cultural practices that arise from interactions between humans and ecosystems. The types of knowledge, and approaches to knowledge production, presumed by this relational, non-linear and place-based perspective on cultural ecosystem services are discussed and reviewed. The framework not only helps navigate more fully the challenge of operationalising ‘cultural ecosystem services’ but points to a more relational understanding of the ecosystem services framework as a whole. Extending and refining understanding through more ambitious engagements in interdisciplinarity remains important.read more

Relational values: the key to pluralistic valuation of ecosystem services
Austin Himes,Barbara Muraca +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors distinguish between the innate relationality of all evaluative process and relational values as the content of valuation, and argue that relational values provide conceptual and empirical insights that the intrinsic/instrumental value dichotomy fails to deliver.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore spiritual and aesthetic cultural values associated with ecosystems and argue that these values are not best captured by instrumental or consequentialist thinking, and they are grounded in conceptions of nature that differ from the ecosystem services conceptual framework.
