Ecosystems services research in action: reflexively valuing environments in the South Pacific

Ecosystem services (ES) are heralded as an approach that communicates across disciplines and between researchers and resource managers, encouraging more environmentally sustainable human behavior. However, most studies presuppose that “values” are ontologically distinct from “ecosystem services” without examining what this framing enables and occludes about human and other-than-human relations. Through a reflexive research approach, we conduct a conventional photo elicitation ES survey among four groups in Moorea, French Polynesia, while also eliciting respondents’ evaluations of the survey method, and documenting the method in action as participants interacted with it. Photo elicitation results suggest that fishers valued the subsistence fishery while scientists favored habitats, yet all stakeholders were concerned about the role of economic activities in contributing to environmental degradation. Yet, survey participants had difficulties with interpreting the photos of ecosystem services as intended, an indication that the ES framework commits to a nature-culture dualism and displaces other ways of ordering human and other-than-human relations, particularly those present throughout the Global South. We argue that ecosystem services research is best treated as a situated practice where researcher and research participants jointly produce intended and unintended results and outcomes.

正在开展的生态系统服务研究:反思性评估南太平洋的环境

生态系统服务(ES)被誉为一种跨学科,研究人员与资源管理人员之间进行交流的方法,可鼓励人类在环境方面采取更具可持续性的行为。但是,大多数研究以“价值”在本体论上与“生态系统服务”不同的前提为前提,而没有研究这种构架对人与人与人与人之间关系的影响和阻碍。通过反思性研究方法,我们在法属波利尼西亚的莫雷阿岛的四个小组中进行了常规的照相激发ES调查,同时还引发了受访者对调查方法的评估,并记录了与参与者互动时该方法的实际作用。照片激发结果表明,渔民重视生存渔业,而科学家则偏爱栖息地,然而,所有利益相关者都对经济活动在导致环境恶化中的作用感到担忧。然而,参与调查的人难以按预期解释生态系统服务的照片,这表明环境与社会框架致力于自然文化的二元论,并取代了其他解决人与人以外关系的方式,特别是在全球范围内存在的人与人之间的关系。南。我们认为,最好将生态系统服务研究视为一种情境实践,在这种实践中,研究人员和研究参与者共同产生预期和非预期的结果。这表明ES框架致力于自然文化的二元论,并取代了其他解决人与人以外关系的方式,尤其是在整个南方地区。我们认为,最好将生态系统服务研究视为一种情境实践,在这种实践中,研究人员和研究参与者共同产生预期和非预期的结果。这表明ES框架致力于自然文化的二元论,并取代了其他解决人与人以外关系的方式,尤其是在整个南方地区。我们认为,最好将生态系统服务研究视为一种情境实践,在这种实践中,研究人员和研究参与者共同产生预期和非预期的结果。
