Rights for Ecosystem Services
R.E.S. Project
This Marie Curie project explored the idea of Rights for Ecosystem Services (RES), as rights to be recognized to sustainable traditional and non-traditional sustainable local communities that contribute to the conservation of ecosystems, with the aim of protecting, and fostering their environmentally-beneficial actions.
Fieldwork
Fieldwork was conducted in the Egadi Archipelago (Sicily) in order to provide an empirically grounded, context-specific testing of the proposed RES framework.
