Scenarios of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (Biodiversity I 2014)

This Collaborative Research Action (CRA) sought to stimulate networking and capacity building for innovative research across social and natural science disciplines. Proposed projects were expected to address the following:  
  • Harmonizing and integrating development and application of biodiversity scenarios across spatial scales of relevance to multiple types of decisions.
  • Harmonizing and integrating consideration of multiple dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
  This CRA was launched in 2012 and ended in 2018. It was supported by:

CSIRO, FAPESP, NSFC, ANR, DFG, MoES, MEXT/JST, RCN, and NRF

Four projects were selected:
ScenNet Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Scenarios Network
IHDBS Impact of Human Drivers (Fire, Agriculture and Grazing) on Biodiversity in the Savannas
SEAVIEW Scenario, Fishery, Ecological-Economic Modelling and Viability Network
TSUNAGARI Trans-System, Unified Approach for Global and Regional Integration of Social-Ecological Study toward Sustainable Use of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
