Some may find this an inappropriate or perhaps distasteful question, suggesting as it might that the importance or value of birds lies principally in the ways that they benefit people, and with perhaps an unspoken implication that if they do not do enough then we should not be too concerned as to what befalls them.

The relation between the concept of ecosystem services and practice is a moving target: a dynamic field of operation, experimentation, discourse and concern, and many challenges and ambitions.

Choices. The Magazine of Food, Farm, and Resources Issues, 2008
Over the past decade two themes have emerged as organizing principles in natural resources policy. One, ecosystem management, builds a framework for landscape–level decision making (Christensen et al. 1996). The other, ecosystem services, opens a new dimension for thinking about what we hope to achieve through ecosystem management (Daily 1997; Costanza
