2 Federal Action 1998 PCAST report Teaming with Life: Investing in Science to Understand and Use America s Living Capital Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Farm Bill Establishment of USDA Office of Ecosystem Services and Markets Wetlands Compensatory Mitigation Rule Inter agency dialogue on payments and markets for ecosystem services PCAST Report Sustaining Environmental Capital: Protecting Society and the Economy Forest Service Planning Rule International Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services CEQ Principles and Requirements for Federal Investments in Water Resources White House Memo on integrating ES White House Memo on mitigating natural resource impacts White House Research Agenda on ES and coastal green infrastructure
3 WH Memo: ES in Federal Decision Making White House memorandum calling on Federal agencies to incorporate ecosystem services into Federal decision making requests: a description of current agency practice and work plans to be submitted to the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) no later than March 30, 2016 and plans for implementation guidance to be developed in collaboration with the agencies by November 30 th, (When it will be released for external review)

6 Winners and Losers US Bee abundance relative to pollinator dependent crop area Koh et al Modeling the status, trends, and impacts of wild bee abundance in the United States.
7 How are ES useful? Communicating benefits ecosystems provide to people Constructive engagement of stakeholders before decisions are made Communicating and explicitly considering trade offs that involve ecosystem services More systemic comparison of alternatives (such as greener vs grayer infrastructure options) Fuller consideration of important but often undervalued benefits Identification of new partners (PES, markets)
8 National Ecosystem Services Partnership (NESP) NESP engages both public and private individuals and organizations to enhance collaboration within the ecosystem services community and to strengthen coordination of policy, market implementation, and research at the national level NESP Community of Practice Quarterly newsletter Webinars FRMES Online guidebook nespguidebook.com Best Practice Guidance & Workshops nicholasinstitute.duke.edu/sites/default/files/publications/es_best_practices_fullpdf_0.pdf Engaged Expert Network areas/national ecosystem services partnership
9 Primary focus since 2012 Incorporating ES into federal decision making Help to fill the gap between concept and practice Educate newcomers & managers on the ground Shared learning across agencies Connect ecological and social methods for ES evaluation Common framework that spans decision contexts, geography, and capacity Bring together agency and academic experts to bring credibility while remaining practical
10 Online Guidebook Nespguidebook.com UNDERSTAND THE MOTIVATION for Ecosystem Services Approaches History, definitions, benefits, limitations, FAQs EXPLORE AGENCY USE of Ecosystem Services Agency decision contexts and examples THE ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK for Ecosystem Services Methods for connecting ecological and social analyses ABOUT Federal Resource Management and Ecosystem Services Guidebook nespguidebook.com

13 Best Practices for Integrating ES into Federal Decision Making What does this look like in practice? If we can t or don t want to put a dollar value on everything, what do we do?
14 Connection to nature to people Ecological Measures Wetland Restoration Wetland area (acres) Water storage (volume) 1. Draw a picture connecting nature to people 2. Quantify the service (late season water) provide by nature (restored wetlands) 3. Quantify the potential demand/value for the service (how much irrigated cropping land with access could use water) Ecology Ecosystem Services Societal Benefit Ecosystem Service Measures Wetland Restoration Wetland area (acres) Water storage (volume) Water quantity (average late season water storage volume) A Water quantity available for irrigation (late season water flows to irrigation outtakes) valuation B Marginal crop value attributable to irrigation water
15 Ecosystem services being considered in 1. Forest level planning (2012 Planning Rule) USDA and USFS 2. Project level NEPA decisions to compare management alternatives 3. State level assessments and valuation of forest ecosystem services under different future scenarios 4. USDA quantifying ES benefits of conservation programs 5. Exploring public private partnerships
16 Other agencies using ES FWS for improving decisions, enhance support for conservation related actions and identify non traditional sources of funding BLM for land use planning and permitting and leasing conditions NOAA assess broader benefits of fisheries and enhancing holistic management of coastal resources USACE assessing how ES can integrate into corps operations, restoration, operations and maintenance, green coastal infrastructure EPA & USGS developing and testing tools and resources to support the use of ES in decision making EPA & NPS assessing the ecosystem mediated affects of air pollution on people
17 Integrating ecosystem services into planning and decision making can lead to better outcomes, fewer unintended consequences, and more efficient use of taxpayer dollars and other resources. White House BLOG Oct 7, 2015 How? Make the business case for investment through federal programs (e.g., conservation programs) or private markets (e.g., PWS). Target investment to greatest demand or value Provide a fuller assessment of ROI Improve communication with and engagement of stakeholders and reduced legal conflict My contact information: Lydia.olander@duke.edu
