The Ecosystem Services Project is a collaborative natural resource management project studying the services people obtain from their environments, the economic and social values inherent in these services and the opportunities that can arise from considering these services more fully in land management policies and decisions.

Our ultimate aim is for scientists and communities to learn together about how to deliver the right information to policy developers and decision makers to move towards more sustainable land management practices.

The Ecosystem Services Project was initiated by CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems and The Myer Foundation. The project has since grown to a large number of partners including:

• Five CSIRO Divisions:

1. Sustainable Ecosystems
2. Land and Water
3. Entomology
4. Forestry and Forest Products
5. Plant Industry

• Land and Water Australia
• The Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority
• The Rainforest Cooperative Research Centre
• The Cotton Cooperative Research Centre
• The University of New England
• and a range of community and government representatives.
