Abstract:

The main goal of ecosystem services management is to ensure a harmonious relationship between nature and society, so that the diverse benefits provided by nature to people become manageable from the perspective of sustainable development, while also preserving the necessary potential of these services for future generations. However, both in practice and in theory, there is still no clear methodology for the management of ecosystem services.

In this regard, it is important to address issues such as identifying the scope of ecosystem service beneficiaries, clarifying the processes involved in managing these services according to their objectives, and establishing accountability for management outcomes.

This article proposes a model for the management of ecosystem services. A participatory approach to decision-making is also justified, wherein representatives of the local community are involved in management processes and feedback mechanisms are established. The proposed model for the cyclical management of ecosystem services is presented as a novel contribution.

Keywords: ecosystem scope, ecosystem management goals, participatory management, motivation of beneficiaries, ecosystem services management cycle.
