Water conservation has its own rewards, helping ecosystems to survive and saving consumers money.
Rewilding: Call it sugarlump theory: George Monbiot's argument for "rewilding" – helping ecosystems reassert themselves by re-introducing legacy species like wolves – chimes with My Little Pony's world of girl-power unicorns with the odd cute dragon.
Finally, invasive species can help ecosystems and people to adapt to global change by maintaining ecosystem processes such as productivity, carbon storage, and nutrient cycling in a context of climate change or land cover transformations.
And they learned the power of fully protected marine areas to help ecosystems recover and that such protection has been a bipartisan issue across decades, prompting action from Presidents Kennedy, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama.
For those of us who study the intersection of environmental history, policy and politics on sea and land as I do, it's clear the creation of this gigantic marine monument is a huge step forward for conservation and for helping ecosystems adapt to a changing climate.
The fisheries and biodiversity benefits of marine reserves are widely recognised but there is mounting interest in exploiting the importance of herbivorous fishes as a tool to help ecosystems recover from climate change impacts.
By referring to service ecosystems as the structures that support engagement to the process of interaction through knowledge creation and exchange [56, 58], the adoption of the S-D logical view on service ecosystem thus helps the ecosystem actors to move away from too much planning and control.
It is proposed that incorporation of the E-LAUD framework in urban planning forms the context of a new interdisciplinary research programme on ecological resilience for urban ecosystems and helps promote ecosystem services.
The planning helps the ecosystem to develop features incrementally.
Bringing people together at the prime minister's office helped the ecosystem to gel, argues Tamara Rajah, who follows start-up ecosystems at McKinsey, a consultancy.
